- Hundreds of historic buildings are demolished every year in the Pittsburgh region. Here are just a few that were demolished within the past few years.

That is so sad. Glad you got pics before they were destroyed.
Man... its crazy to see this video after so many years. You should definitely do this again and make this into a series every year. Or even do exploring videos like us.
it's a lot of work, and mostly thankless, and a bit like pounding your head against a brick wall called "progress"
@@JonathonDenson Haha a lot of work, but here I am, 100+ locations deep within 5 years of exploring non-demolished abandoned places haha, majority now actually ARE demolished though
@@AmongTheUnknown I always hoped that I would inspire people to save old buildings
The creepy thing is those houses used to be someone’s home. They were born, lived and/or died there. They were loved and cared for. Now look at them. Can’t help but wonder how they got to this point. Very sad.
Sad love old houses.Thanks
The music was a very good choice , meandering tune flowing along with the sad pictures of such beautiful buildings .
HOW SAD.... HISTORY OF THE 1900 1922 ALL GONE! IN THE OLD DAYS HOMES WERE BUILT STRONGER
Marvelous work . Thanks for sharing this .
What is this music? It is beautiful and fits the loss of the past perfectly.
The building I was working on until 11/12/14 is Guardian Storage. It's located at 5873 Centre Ave. I'm told it was a car dealership at one time. As a brick mason and restorarion specialist I found that the filler brick between the 6th and 8th floor had fire damage. Any leads to this would be greatly appreciated! P.s. If you pass the building, myself and another Co - worker repainted the large depiction on the side!
I visited Pittsburgh for a month in January. What gorgeous old buildings preserved in Germantown area. It's a crime to let these buildings go to waste - they were made so well and so much variety on a theme. That city seems like a big museum of past America to me. It should be refilled with more productive people - only about half full now. Now that we've alienated Russia, China, India, OPEC and many other countries with our sanctions, we're going to have to start building our own products for a change.
Thanks JD
Stop destroying these beautiful buildings we don't need all the modern stupid stuff
It's called "Love Remembered." It's from the soundtrack of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
great job always sad to see these very nice buildings and homes go away.I live on the Eastern Side of Pa and around here they don't waste much time before they demo stuff anymore.
Sad. The homes in Manchester, the Italianate row houses, the Presbyterian Church. All we're so beautiful and solid. A real asset to the area. You can't get those back.
look at Mckeesport
They are old buildings progress needs change!
Pretty much everything that made this city amazing while I lived here in the 90's is gone.
Hurts my feelings. I would say a lot of families were raised in these buildings.It's sad but a Lot of homes and businesses are being destroyed in every state..
Those buildings on Forbes Ave., the façades are going to be saved and incorporated into the new construction that's happening for Point Park.
If I ever win the lottery or somehow become rich most of my money will go into restoring old buildings
These are Architectural Works of Art ..would you walk into the Carnegie and slash a Van Gogh?....it's exactly the same scenario
The lamar building is still there. And yes I live and am from Pittsburgh
No, the Lamar is long gone, sadly.
Horrible shame so stupid and wasteful.

Not really. They are very old and not well kept. The rooms are tiny for todays standards, also building codes have changed and they are more of a danger and very expensive to renovate. Sad to see yes!
@@leeteplitz7673 buildings of today are really ugly, past buildings have a history have an own idenity.
Yeah stop destroying historic homes and replacing them with the new stupid crap nobody cares about
how many of those houses were actually salvageable? a lot of older houses in garfield and other places were left to rot for years and became unsaveable
Most of them looked fine
Many of the wooden structures don't even look safe anymore.
So sad. Nothing but crap going up in its place.
