In order to make way for an extension of the rail line, Mr. Podruly Peccable's Botanical House, a longtime fixture in Caledon On Sea, was demolished on Saturday - following, naturally, a dance.
Above, the Botanical House in all its glory, with one of Duke Middlesea's craft docked.
The dance floor.
As the building comes down, most of the revelers watch from outside - some romantic but foolhardy souls continue to dance as the walls tumble around them. Love in the ruins indeed!
I watched the process in the Steamray from a safe distance - Middlesea!
And the Botanical House is no longer.
Naturally, like all good Caledonian parties, this one ended in a sim crash, as the physical bouncing of the prims overwhelmed the server and sent all comers into limbo. Success!

It is a great shame to see this building go. On the other hand, I will be very pleased if we are to see something like Mr Thorne's old Penzance railway station erected in its place. If only we could have had both.
I am sad I missed the demolition... I was out of town engaged with a family visit. The Botanical House will be sorely missed.
What a wonderful end to a fine old building :)
It was indeed a demolition to remember! (Though, unlike a certain Steelhead laboratory, no pieces were found embedded in other structures, as far as I know. :) )
The Botanical House was a Caledon landmark, and will certainly be missed. It will be interesting to see what Mr. Thorne does with the property.
Oh that's sad. The Botanical House was the first place I ever stumbled upon in Caledon.
