Debris From Bartley Mansion, Toledo, Ohio, 1981

A view of the debris from fallen stone parapets from the Bartley Mansion in 1981. The Bartley House, built by wealthy grocer Rudolph A. Bartley in 1905, was used as a funeral home for many years after the death of the Bartley's. It was later occupied by offices. One of the stone parapets collapsed in 1977, and for many years it sat vacant and derelict, stripped of its staircase, paneling, and mantelpieces. Threatened with demolition several times, it was rescued as part of the Museum Place redevelopment project in 1996. The 10,000 square-foot house was converted into 10 apartment units.
