A Blast from the Past: Demolition of Old Houses on Rue de la Pierre qui Rage, Marseille, France (1913) This evocative photograph captures the demolition of a row of old houses on Rue de la Pierre qui Rage in Marseille, France, in 1913. The scene is set behind the Bourse, the city's historic stock exchange, located on the Canebiere. The Palais de la Bourse, a grand neoclassical building, can be seen in the background, housing the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Marseille-Provence and the Musée de la Marine et de l'Onomastique de Marseille. The houses, with their shuttered windows and worn facades, appear to be typical tenements or apartments common in the early 20th century. The demolition of these structures was likely part of an urban renewal project to make way for new development. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past as these old houses disappear, leaving only memories and the promise of what is to come. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a poignant reminder of the ever-changing cityscape and the passage of time. The demolition of these houses marks the end of an era, as new structures and progress take their place. This image, preserved through the decades, invites us to reflect on the history and evolution of Marseille and the people who once called these houses their home.
