Can you guess what was previously beyond this fence, where the rubble is now piled?
Yes, the World of Tile round showroom.
I don’t usually Debbie Downer on this website. But it is what it is.
Thanks to friend Jonathan O’Hea of American Bloomsbury Antiques — who I met at the big liquidation sale — for sending these photos. Yup, it is what it is.
See all our historical photos from World of Tile

Ugh. I’m sure it will be something worthless.
Back where I grew up one of the largest pools in the country which was still drawing great traffic (Dreamland, Portsmouth, Ohio) was filled in so a Dollar Store and Aldi could be built.
umm yes
ugh
No word. Even if it does reopen, it will be a slim shadow of its former self. What was “left” for liquidation after the original WOT owners took out their stash was EPIC.
Thank you for the nice comment. You’re welcome!
parking lot for cars for sale, i think
:'(
Oh! I just about threw up! It looked so much nicer with World of Tile there!
The sign alone is a treasure…so sad…
You know the saying that it is better to have loved than never loved at all…well, in this case, I guess it is better to have known about WOT than to have never known at all. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in the 1960’s when wonderful places like this dotted our landscape. Ah, such happy memories can never be erased by….uh, progress?
Wish there was a “like” button for this post.
Aaaawww! Group hug/sob!
