In a rare and unusual showing of anthropomorphism,  buildings in the neighboring Fairfax community – old long-time friends of the Carnegie Medical Building – have donned mourning cloaks in respect for the DEAD.   There were even bells tolling.

Ashes to Ashes, dirt to dirt, architectural legacy to rubble.  So it is written, so shall it be.  Amen

PS    When I was contacted to shoot over and grab this image, and I was on the windy sidewalk, I heard another old building whisper "For Whom Does the Bell Toll?"

And I swear I heard the clear response:

"Cleveland, the bell tolls for you..."
