Top Ten: Histoire

 


A lot of mixed feelings for today's Top Ten entry.  I love history and preserving it, but everything has a shelf life.

The old fire house behind the Olyphant Municipal Building was torn down in March to make way for parking spaces.

The fire company moved out months prior, because this building was too old and too small to be functional.  It would cost too much to fix.  Understandable, but it was still sad to watch more than one hundred years reduced to rubble.

Below is a shot of the cleared lot, taken back at the end of May.  Part of the space will be used for a memorial to veterans, and I look forward to seeing the finished product.  I'll be there, camera in hand.

A taste of fall comes to the Top Ten tomorrow.
