The composite photograph shown above – again with views obtained from the webcam, shows the construction of the steel-framed roof for the gym.
View dated 12-16-13: The cinderblock walls of the gym have been erected to their full height.
View dated 12-23-13: steel trusses running in the north-south direction (left to right) are in place. Each truss is supported on walls at each end (left and right).
View dated 12-31-13: Steel deck units are being placed on top of the trusses. The deck spans east-west (top to bottom).
View dated 01-08-14: Steel deck units continue to be placed on top of the trusses.
Note: Waterproofing and insulation will be placed on top of the steel deck.
The new school -- a jazzed up warehouse – is being built on the cheap -- using cheap materials (cinderblocks) and zero craftsmanship -- without a basement, auditorium, swimming pool, or underground running tracks.
New school is being built above the grave which contains the pulverized remains – bricks and stones of the old school.
Historic John Marshall High School -- an architectural gem – located in Cleveland, Ohio -- opened in 1932 – underwent a senseless and illegitimate destruction in 2012/2013 -- a crime against humanity -- that shall never be forgotten.
The destruction was brought about by vote rigging & other irregularities committed by corrupt politicians (Mayor Frank Jackson & Councilman Martin J. Sweeney) & a visionless & corrupt Cleveland Metropolitan School District -- and their multitude of cronies.
May the names of the following who facilitated the senseless destruction – forever live in infamy:
Mayor Frank G. Jackson;
Councilman and former City Council President Martin J. Sweeney;
Councilman Anthony Brancatelli;
Councilwoman Phyllis E. Cleveland;
Cleveland Metropolitan School District;
Chair, Cleveland Landmarks Commission;
Manager of Architecture (Chief Architect), City of Cleveland;
Director of City Planning;
Bellaire Puritas Development Corporation; and
President and those trustees of the John Marshall High Alumni Association who openly advocated for demolition.
