In the 1920s, Northwestern University offered Wesley and Passavant sites across the street from one another to build new hospitals, but Wesley Hospital was delayed until 1941.

Designed to be "exclusively devoted to the various branches of the construction industries" this twelve story tower didn't last long in its original use, with the Depression forcing its sale. It was purchased by Douglas oil in 1959, and demolished alongside the Richfield Tower (seen on the right of the first photo) for the construction of the ARCO Towers

The Victoria Station Cinema, London, UK
This small theatre, opened in 1933, stood adjacent to Platform 19 above the station concourse. It screened newsreels and short films, but with only one auditorium and 200 seats it was never able to progress to showing feature films. It closed its doors in 1981 and was later demolished.
