The last major earthquake to hit Mexico City was on September 19th, 2017. More that seven years later, scars from that tragic event are still visible.
I have previously shown you photos of this government building which was structurally damaged. Well, it's still there, with no sign of being repaired or demolished.
A barricade has been placed around the building, perhaps to keep squatters from entering and taking up residence, or perhaps to prevent further graffiti on the structure. Of course the barricade is now covered with graffiti. I despise graffiti, but what do you expect after sitting abandoned for so many years?
As I was walking through the Condesa neighborhood, I spotted this building. It probably dates from the 1920s or 30s when the area was developed as an affluent "colonia". Many homes were built in neo-colonial style.
My first reaction was, "What a lovely, old house. But it could use some work." Then I noticed this sign...
"This property is considered
High Risk.
Entrance is under your own responsibility."
Most likely another victim of the earthquake more than seven years ago.
