The run down police station…
By danderma | April 15, 2012
If you follow my blog you might remember the post regarding the old run down police station in Bneid Al-Qar that I saw last year and was about to be renovated (post).
I was afraid last year that when it gets renovated the restorations would be so severe it would become too modern and lose its historical touch and identity. When I saw the building last weekend while I was in Bneid Al-Qar I saw that it was almost finished and sadly my prediction is right. The house no longer looks like a historical police station. With the smooth white facade and the clear glass doors it no longer feels like something from a past era. 7safa 3leeh wallah 
Oh well, at least it was not torn down.

But you have to admit it looks cleaner even if it lost some of its historical touches.

But it has lost its identity and soul. I’d rather it was kept messy but historical. 7safa 3leeh

looks reduced in size too to me…I think ppl in general like everyhing to be modern and up to date..no one enjoys the value of old designs etc…but u r right, atleast not demolished…

I think its because I took it from a different angle it looks smaller but its the same size, just soulless.
