If the fall doesn't kill you, the asbestos will get you in 3-4 decades.
要是没摔死你，那石棉过个三四十年也得把你送走。

Probably didn't even have asbestos though. Says it opened in 1874 which was just barely on the cusp of modern asbestos production at a large scale, and that was mostly in other countries at first. Seems like they just let this beautiful building fall into disrepair and didn't care enough to maintain or preserve it.
说不定连石棉都没有呢。上面说这地方1874年就开了，那会儿大规模生产石棉的时代才刚露头，而且起初基本是在其他国家。看来他们纯粹就是任由这座漂亮的建筑荒废掉，根本懒得去维护或修缮。

I would be surprised if they didn't retrofit the building with asbestos in some form or another later on. For fire safety if nothing else.
如果他们之后没有以某种形式给这栋楼加装石棉，我反而会觉得奇怪。就算别的都不图，至少为了防火也得弄啊。

Given when that building was built, it's actually the replacement that more likely has issues with asbestos, rather than the original. I work with what amounts to a historic company town that was built in 1937. There is very little asbestos that we have had to remediate/deal with. In the early part of the 20th century, and 19th centuries, it was relatively expensive, so only used where it was really needed. It wasn't until the 50s and 60s that asbestos became widely used in all sorts of building materials.
考虑到那栋楼的建造年代，反倒是翻新重装的部分更有可能存在石棉问题，而不是最初的建筑本体。我工作的地方算是一个历史悠久的工业市镇，建于1937年。我们几乎没怎么处理过石棉问题。在20世纪早期和19世纪，石棉还挺贵的，所以只用在真正必要的地方。直到50年代和60年代，石棉才在各种建筑材料中被广泛使用。

This picture reminds me of a recurring, uncomfortable dream I have once in a while about an extremely high and instable house with lots scaffolding, ropes, ladders and weird elevators and I have to go higher and higher and everything seems like a house of cards just waiting to collapse
这张照片让我想起自己偶尔会做的一个令人不适的重复梦，梦里有一栋高得离谱且摇摇欲坠的房子，上面全是脚手架、绳索、梯子和奇奇怪怪的电梯。我必须得爬得越来越高，感觉整栋房子就像纸牌屋一样，随时都会塌掉。

Yep. I currently live in Cincinnati, and this post gets around quite a bit... A few things: * It was not replaced by a parking lot (I called this out the last time the post got reposted with "a parking lot" title.) 629 Vine Street is an office building, with some retail on the bottom floor, and a parking garage.
* The library was more or less eating itself by the point it was torn down. There was zero ventilation, the paint was constantly peeling, books were rotting away due to the conditions, the basement regularly flooded. It looked cool in photos, but was a dank old carcass of a building. And the foundation *sucked*.
* A replacement for the old library had been proposed as far back as the 20s. It took the city a while to build the replacement due to world events.
同意。
我目前住在辛辛那提，这个帖子传播得还挺广的……说几点：
* 它并没有被停车场取代（上次这帖子以“被改成了停车场”为标题转发时我就指出来了）。629 Vine Street 现在是一栋办公楼，底层有些零售店，还有个停车库。
* 在被拆除时，这座图书馆基本上已经在自我瓦解了。里面一点通风都没有，油漆一直在剥落，书因为环境恶劣都在发霉腐烂，地下室还经常被淹。照片里看着是挺酷的，但实际上它就是个阴暗破败的老废墟。而且地基烂得一塌糊涂。
* 其实早在20年代就有人提议要建个新图书馆来替代旧的了。由于种种世界大事，市政府花了好久才把替代建筑建起来。

This. This so much. Just because a building is gorgeous, doesn't mean that it's a usable/functional space. I'm as big into historic preservation as anyone (I literally work in a Victorian mansion converted into a museum), but it's important for people to realize that some things legitimately aren't worth preserving, especially in downtown urban areas. Preservation always needs to be balanced with about a hundred other factors, as much as it pains me to say it.
这话深得我心，简直说到点子上了。仅仅因为一栋建筑外观华丽，并不代表它是一个实用或功能性的空间。我和任何人一样热衷于历史保护（我工作的地方就是一栋改建成博物馆的维多利亚式豪宅），但大家必须意识到，有些东西确实不值得保留，特别是在市中心这种地段。虽然这么说让我很心痛，但历史保护必须与上百种其他因素保持平衡。

现代化的暖通空调系统（HVAC）本可以彻底解决这个问题，但除此之外的其他毛病，可就没那么容易搞定了。那个齐大腿高的栏杆看起来简直危险得离谱。

Tbh the railing would have been the easiest thing to fix If the foundation was bad though that’s pretty much game over
老实说，栏杆应该是最容易修好的地方了。
要是地基有问题的话，那这房子基本也就凉透了。

Cincinnatian here. iirc this library was demolished for a number of reasons, one of them being that the design of the library created heat/humidity in places such that it would rapidly degrade the books that were stored there. This picture is often posted wistfully in due to the beauty of the space, but unfortunately if it doesn't do it's main job very well - housing and preserving books, that's not a very good library.
我是辛辛那提人。如果我没记错的话，当初拆掉这个图书馆有几个原因，其中之一就是它的建筑设计导致室内某些区域热量/湿度过高，这会加速馆藏书籍的损毁。
这张照片经常出现在 版块里，大家发的时候都挺怀念的，毕竟空间确实美，但说实话，如果一个图书馆连最基本的功能——存放和保护书籍——都做不好，那它真算不上是个好图书馆。

Not enough space and staff is my guess. That's probably part of why they closed it and moved down the street into a place designed to be a library that meets the actual needs of a library. People further down are really romanticizing this image, and I get it, but honestly this photo does not depict a library that is meeting the needs of its collection.
我猜是地方不够大，人手也不够。这大概就是他们关掉那儿，搬到街那头一个专门为图书馆设计、能满足图书馆实际需求的地方的原因。
后面评论的人把这景象美化得太离谱了，我懂那种感觉，但讲真，这张照片里的图书馆根本满足不了馆藏的需求。

The building was originally built as a theater and the iron shelves were added later when it was converted into a library. Eventually the library outgrew the building and a purpose built library was built down the street. It's a really tragic loss but it wasn't completely nonsensical. The Macy's office building stands on the old library spot today. There is no parking lot there as the title says.
这栋楼最初是建作剧院的，那些铁架子是后来改建成图书馆时才加进去的。最后，图书馆的藏书量超过了建筑的承载能力，所以就在街对面建了一座专门的图书馆大楼。这确实是一个非常可惜的损失，但也并非完全没有道理。现在的梅西百货办公楼就盖在老图书馆旧址上。那里并没有标题里说的那个停车场。

It's really not tragic when you think about it. Cincinnati's public library system remains outstanding. A massive pile of books looks impressive, but it's dangerous, poorly organized, and a poor use of space. If they had built actual floors under those shelves they could have put in twice as many books, but it wouldn't look as neat.
说实话，仔细想想也没什么好可惜的。辛辛那提的公共图书馆系统依然非常出色。堆成山的书看起来确实壮观，但那种格局既危险、管理混乱，空间利用率也很低。如果他们当初在那些架子下面铺设真正的楼层，原本可以放下两倍的书，只不过那样看起来就不会像现在这么“整齐”了。

Cncinnati wanted an actual library rather than a massive pile of books. It might not look as impressive, but a three story building with actual floors can hold more books.

Yeah, while this building was beautiful and I wish it still existed (along with many others that were demolished) we have a fantastic library now. Or rather we did, before it's funding got cut. Now we have a decent library downtown with loud echos of it's former glory. Emilio Estevez made a movie about it if you want to check out the library.
是啊，虽然这栋建筑确实很美，我也希望它能保留下来（就像很多其他被拆掉的老建筑一样），但我们现在已经有了很棒的图书馆了。
或者说曾经有过，在经费被砍之前。现在的市中心图书馆只能算凑合，还能听到它往日辉煌的回响。
如果你想看看这个图书馆，艾米利奥·艾斯特维兹（Emilio Estevez）还拍过一部关于它的电影呢。
