A Very Brief Demolition

A Very Brief Demolition
It did not take long for this house to be demolished. Although still functional, many houses in our 60 year old neighborhood are being demolished to make room for new infill buildings. A two story duplex is replacing this home. At this point this is what was left of the house. Within a half and hour it was leveled.

See the notes for more action and the finished product.

Over here this is the type of property some unscrupulous estate agents might describe as "needs some modernisation" - lol! ;)

I have seen this done... it's pretty incredible! Too dad the wood can't be repurposed instead of smashed to bits and pieces!

Sad to see a building being pulled down, but I can understand the need for more homes in the one space.

It would seem your city's administration is being proactive in it's attempt to prevent urban sprawl ... that is refreshing to hear. Usually cities wait too long to take action and then it's even harder to correct the problem. Great shot for the challenge. :)

Always sad to see a perfectly good house go down, but on the upside you got a really nice photo of it. I like the colors. :)

Fine for the challenge, but I guess old houses do not exist in this neighbourhood?

The houses in this neighborhood were built after WW II. Many baby boomers were born and raised here. The houses were inexpensive starter homes.
