48 hours from the wrecking ball 🏗️

The Parks Department ordered the Prospect Park Boathouse demolished in the 1960s because almost nobody used it. Brooklyn poet Marianne Moore rallied preservationists in 1964 and got the demolition halted with just two days to spare. It became one of NYC’s first landmarks in 1965, and it still faces west over the Lullwater to catch every sunset.

Burned down, stock up. 📈

When the Brooklyn Academy of Music burned to the ground in 1903, its stock price went up. The land on Montague Street was worth more than the ash, so it was rebuilt in Fort Greene and opened with Enrico Caruso in the opera Faust.

From arsenal to assembly 🏛️

Philip V beat Catalonia in 1714, then made Barcelona’s residents build their own prison, a fortress that cost them a thousand homes. When it was torn down in 1869, locals kept just three buildings. One was the arsenal, once stocked with weapons meant for them. In 1932, it became the Parliament of Catalonia, and today its coat of arms hangs directly over Philip’s.

Sold for $1? Pass. 💵

In 1938, the Army offered Seattle all of Fort Lawton for a single dollar. The city declined, since nobody could afford the upkeep on 700 acres of aging buildings during the Depression. Today it’s Discovery Park, and this yellow building is the souvenir.
