When It Goes, It Really Goes

With news of the Ballard Manning’s so grim, I’ve found myself looking back at another building that met the wrecking ball. Remember when we took this, tore it down, and replaced it with this? While the 1950′s Seattle Public Library wasn’t as depressing as a modern condo replacement, I can’t help but wonder what if we’d preserved the original building, repurposed it, and built the new library on a parking lot instead. The 1906 library may not have had the structural integrity, but Manning’s probably does. Yet, down it goes. Think we’ll regret it later

? I’m nervous about finding out.

That when he goes
He really goes
And do you think you’ve made
The right decision this time?”

   I am very sorry to here that the ultimate fate of Manning’s may not be too bright. I know you all fought really hard for it to stay alive.

   And it is raining! How classically Seattle. I never worked in the Carnegie Building but the photos I’ve seen make me wish I had. On the other hand, the building was in serious trouble and wasn’t expandable so fast forward to today.

   Both the orginal central library and the original downtown post office had awesome facades. Stairs, columns galore – the classic visage of government buildings.

   If only the shells would have been saved and incorporated into the new design,or rehabbed for other usage, it would have been wonderful for those of us that followed.

   I wish the Mannings Diner was staying around too. But rest assured… in 50 years no one will be looking at pictures of it with as much regret about it’s demolition as we now feel about that library.
