[Leica] IMG: Wayback Pix 1968 - Demolished Train Depot Album

[Alan Magayne-Roshak]

Fifity years ago the demolition of the Chicago & Northwestern Depot in
Milwaukee got me started documenting old buildings (before they
disappeared).

(The depot album starts here:<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-

I loved this station.

My friends and I used to sneak inside.

This sequence of the tower was from one blow of the wrecking ball (and shot
with a thumb-wind Pentax H3v).
First one + six more.

I eventually shot 24 rolls of B&W, some slides, and a few Stereo Realist
pictures of the building, and have three pieces of the terra cotta
decoration in my basement.
