[Leica] Don's PAW 23 Demolition in the neighborhood

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Such a pity to destroy this heritage.
They should promote renovating a bit more over there.
On the other hand I understand that there is a tradition of building  
wooden houses.
Which doesn't seem ideal for building long lasting houses.

Thanks for showing,
Philippe

stomach :-)
