I kept creating reconstructions, but not as immersive experiences. I tried the 1905 Terminal Station but could never find enough details to create more than the front of the building. I had more luck with the 1965 C&S Bank building on Moreland Avenue; the building had been demolished but there were plenty of reference photos online.

My favorite project was the 1947 Constitution Building. I went downtown with a tape measure and collected dimensions of every building part I could reach. Knowing the size of bricks and the thickness of mortar makes calculating upper floor details a breeze!

In 2015, I sold my house, got rid of most of my stuff, and moved to Louisville to start a new life and do some exploring. I'm not sure about the new life, but boy did I explore. And by explore I mean WALK: downtown, Old Louisville, across the Ohio River into Indiana.

This also gave me a new set of buildings: Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Merchants Ice Tower, the demolished Baxter Avenue Station, and the Jones-Dabney lab building. Later, I worked on the 1910 Union Station in Gary, IN and the 1909 Terminal Station in Birmingham, AL.

In Atlanta.

Around Louisville.

Other places.

And, there's more...
