All 3 of these photos show the same address: 857 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, NY.
The first house was built in the 1880s, then demolished to make way for a new house in the 1900s, which gave way to this high rise in the 1960s. Makes you wonder just how unrecognizable Manhattan will be 100 years from now

Built in 1906, "Colyarton" once stood proudly in Chattanooga, TN. Within 2 decades of its construction, it was adapted for use as an asylum. Unfortunately, this grand residence met the wrecking ball in 1957.

The only way inside the Palmer Mansion was through giant front doors that had no external door handles. Staff had to swing open the doors from the inside and hoist them shut. Upon entering, this is what you would have seen.
The mansion stood from 1885-1950
