This is the powerhouse from the Scripps mansion which used to occupy this large field. Apparently there was an attempt to develop and subdivide this parcel, although I don’t think that is going too well now.

IIRC the mansion burned down in the mid 80s. I used to attend an EMT class at the former Franklin school (now Burton International) and rode by it on the Trumbull bus each day. I adored that building and it broke my heart when it was torched.
Thanks for the links. What a gem….shame.
Yeah – I guess that’s the library that used to be connected to the house.
any ideas when this stuff was flattened ?
Yeah – the main house and the adjoined library were razed quite some time ago, but I do not know when exactly.
