Lima, Ohio’s iconic “Tower of Lazarus” is slated to be torn down by January after the city received a Brownfield Remediation grant. It’s sad, it really is the only iconic facade left in the city. It is absolutely the coolest structure in a small town American mall that I know of. It also isn’t in bad shape, being closed down in only 2020 and well maintained since, so why the Brownfield grant applied to it confuses me. It’s slated to be “redeveloped by another anchor store”, which translates to “it will be a parking lot until the rest of the mall is demolished.” Also, it’d be great if someone could tell me who took the first picture. Apparently they were a famous photographer in the American mall scene. submitted by /u/Walker_Hale |
