This factory complex (the old Lumen Bearing Company) located at Sycamore and Lathrop will most likely never be saved. \u00a0Frankly, it is past the point of saving.<\/p>\n
In the images above, you see what the complex looked like a about 90 years ago and you will see what it looks like now.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of buildings around the neighborhood that are slowly but surely fading away\u2026fading past the point of no return.<\/p>\n
It literally is just a matter of time before they are demolished and disappear completely.<\/p>\n
When I see buildings like this, I wonder how they were set on this path. \u00a0I also wonder how we can prevent other buildings from meeting the same fate.<\/p>\n
***UPDATE***<\/p>\n
I love the building at the front of the old picture of the complex. \u00a0All the windows, etc\u2026must have been something to look at back in the day.<\/p>\n
