The Arlington Building, Boston MA 1904-2022
Sitting on the corner of Arlington and Boylston streets, the Arlington Building was mostly known by Bostonians as the longtime former home of the Shreve Crump & Low Jewelry Store.
It was demolished with the adjacent buildings (I could not find a date for these) to build a new modern glass block. It sat empty for a years before demolishment so that the owner could find the “ideal” office tenents for the new building.

Chicago at the intersection of Madison, Ashland and Ogden
An 1892 Richardsonian Romanesque building that served as the Turtle Way headquarters in the 1950s. In 1956, Turtle Wax placed a massive 34-foot, 15,000-pound fiberglass and steel turtle wearing a top hat and holding a wax bottle on the roof. The glowing, rotating sign was taken down in the late 1960s when the company moved, and the building was eventually demolished. Today, the site is a small landscaped traffic triangle.
