The old New York Central Freight House at the corner of Clinton Street and Fourth Street in Fort Wayne was scheduled to be torn down in the summer of 2010.

This photograph was made while a protest against the proposed demolition took place on the other side of the building, along Clinton Street. The building's owner decided to postpone the demolition to allow for the community to find a buyer or nonprofit to renovate the century-old structure.

UPDATE: The freight house was demolished on 10-11-10, with the wrecking crew arriving at 3am to begin work before historic preservationists could find out and try to stop it. The building was 97 years old.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
