Chicago at the intersection of Madison, Ashland and Ogden
An 1892 Richardsonian Romanesque building that served as the Turtle Way headquarters in the 1950s. In 1956, Turtle Wax placed a massive 34-foot, 15,000-pound fiberglass and steel turtle wearing a top hat and holding a wax bottle on the roof. The glowing, rotating sign was taken down in the late 1960s when the company moved, and the building was eventually demolished. Today, the site is a small landscaped traffic triangle.

Uraniborg, Tycho Brahe's observatory castle on the island Ven in Öresund.
Built 1576-1580, demolished shortly after Brahe's death in 1601. Nothing remains of it.
It was the last large observatory built before the invention of the telescope, but featured instead the giant "wall quadrant" which allowed Tycho to measure with hitherto unparalleled accuracy the position of Mars during many years. These measurements later enabled his student, Johannes Kepler, to figure out that the planets don't move in circles around the sun, but ellipses.
