And the house came down...


Well this is the house that was due for demolition and sure enough, this afternoon, along came the bulldozer. I felt very sad watching this. It must have so many memories for its previous owners. A few people came along to take videos and pictures of this scene.



Only the front wall remains, and as I look out the window at this minute, not even that is standing.





And here's a depiction of the house when it was standing. It was a charming place, why did they have to knock it down? Ok I know the answer. A lot of crisp green ones in someone's bank account.

This always upsets me too. They just can't appreciate the historical significance of these lovely old dwellings. Everything has to be gigantic, mega-houses that fill up the lot and bring in a load of cash to the owners.
