Things That Are No Longer There

^ The Paris of the Caribbean.

...and fortunately - The Berlin Wall (most of it anyway!)

I believe that this building was finished 1905 and demolished in 1965. It appeared on the 1933 Century of Progress issue. Here is the Chicago Federal Building, Scott Souvenir Sheet 731.





I believe that the three towers shown on the stamp were temporarily built for the Chicago Exhibition, but I may be wrong?

Although this stamp commemorated Connecticut's tri-centennial, in fact, the Charter Oak was already long gone having been toppled by a storm in 1856.

Thanks for adding explanations, as appropriate. It helps explain how/why it disappeared.

"The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia." (Wiki)

There were actually only ever 9 limestone stacks but they were colloquially called the 12 Apostles. Part of the mainland juts out & there is a walkway from which this view was photographed as part of the Australian National Parks series of 1979



The foremost stack collapsed in 2005 leaving 8 Apostles still standing. Given the nature of limestone& the action of the sea, these will also eventually disapear

The pink & white terraces in New Zealand, destroyed by the great earthquake in Tarawera in the 1880's

Here's one. I believe it was torn down for the 1964-65 World's Fair.

Partime,

You beat me to the punch. I was thinking of 1068 too. The citizen's of New Hampshire are not known for wasting valuable tax resources on such frivolous activities. Hence the collapse down Cannon Mountain.

Nice thread.

Is this outside the spirit of this thread? You said things that were no longer "there" which implies a place.

I found it!



Well, part of it...

Great stuff so far. I would think that showing a person would not be appropriate. Someday, all of us will "no longer be there". Other than that, I love the historical artifacts which have disappeared through nature (or otherwise). Space items are allowed - a supernovae would work, for instance.

I did like the Charter Oak. I had no idea that it was no longer there. I hope they planted an appropriate substitute.

Hahaha! I should point out that I suspect the chair is still there.

I was going to post some dinosaur stamps but it appeared that only inanimate objects were on topic.
