Soon to be another blank lot is the site of Barnum School in Birmingham, MI. The fence of doom already surrounds the building as the City of Birmingham plans to demolish the school to build a a park.

Unlike most demos, this building is still in immaculate condition. Originally, there was talk about demolishing only the 1960's addition, but then it was decided the entire building must go. A group has fought hard to keep the original 1912 portion, but if Tiger Stadium or the Pontiac Asylum are to be our guide, t is a vain attempt. Seems that if it is in the hands of state or local government, it really doesn't matter what the public wants and the bulldozer is the only solution. So as our heritage continues to be eradicated we can say hello to another empty lot. These photos were taken around June 2008. 07-08
