+1. Sometimes I can understand tearing a building down when it is just too far gone. What sickens me is when they are just flattened without saving any of the trim or other features. Happens a lot here.
They just tore down a 100yr old church 2 miles from me. It was almost disturbing... 3 hours with a recip saw and you would have had 10 arched windows & 4 10 ft arched doors. Nope... just flattened. The 35 ft steeple came down in one piece, standing upright. Flattened.

I'm currently in the process of buying a house built in 1870, with reno's done in 45 and again when it was moved 15 years ago..all kinds of neat stuff is discovered when looking into older building's pasts.

Pics? I love old homes even more than I love old cars & boats. I wish there was a forum like PP for old homes. This Old House is really missing the boat in that department.
