Slated for demolition

On my way in to work today I made a quick stop to take a picture of this house. It is on the historic registries B list. This means that the owners can receive funding for renovations but it is not protected from being torn down.
This one has been empty for a while now and is now slated for demolition. I always find it sad when older homes can not find a new owner and a new lease on life

[Shirley Chetwynd]

It looks like a beautiful house, I hope they get funding for renovations.

[❀ Lynn]

How sad...no doubt it would have been quite expensive, even with funding, to bring it up to code.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice shot. I agree, it is sad to see an older building torn down.

[Kerri]

Lovely

[Katie]

Had no idea there was a backup list. Definitely sad.

[Danette Thompson]

Looks like it was a nice house at one time.

[Maggiemae]

Its a brick house and so should be strong. It does look unloved and maybe if someone tidied it up and then put it on the market, it would sell!

[Cathie]

That is sad, Brian! What a charming house.

[Nancy]

Very charming old find..I am sure it is full of stories too. Too bad they have to demo it! Nice capture!

[Dixie Goode]

Nice capture. I know it would have a lot of stories to tell if iy could talk.

[Laura J.]

It is sad, since they often have so much character, but just need work. Nice shot.

[Anita Campbell]

always hate to see these old historic homes (and other buildings) that have such architecture and history torn down. I hope someone will save this one. If it's torn down what will go into its place? More condos or apartments, huh!!?

[summerfield]

that is just sad. every time i see something like this, it really makes me wish i'd win the lottery so i can buy it and have it restored. i hope someone saves it.

[Gena Pegg]

Oh that is sad...looks like it could be loved again!! We only have a couple of stately homes left in our area. Great capture of it!

[Diane]

Nice photo of an old home with lots of character and charm. I wish it could be saved!

[Linda]

Lovely old home. Wish someone had wanted to renovate it. It would have been charming.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is too bad- this house is quaint and has some lovely gingerbread on the eaves there.

[Yorkie]

It is really sad to see something so comforting being torn down.

[KAL]

It is a beautiful home! It will be sad to see it torn down! That is great you took a photo of it!

[Loopy-Lou]

Nice shot, looks a beautiful home hopefully it will be restored, sad for it to be torn down.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

A pity to lose it!

[Graham Thresher]

It would be a great loss.

[Ivan]

Maybe your photo will soon be all there is to remember this lovely building, very sad.

[ZambianLass]

Lovely house - sad it has to be pulled down

[Claire]

Far to pretty to be torn down

[Lisa Pouncy]

I agree, it's such a shame to pull down a building, especially one like this where you can see that it could be a wonderful family home xx

[Pat Knowles]

Oh dear what a great shame no one wants it...looks rather beautiful with character.....it won't be worth anything pulled down or will the owner sell the land for development perhaps?

[Fisher Family]

Sad to see such a nice house being neglected - if only someone would show it some TLC!

[ladyjane]

What a nice old house. Too bad it's not being restored.

[Kim]

It has so much of its original charm - it's too bad someone is not willing/able to rehab it.

[Paula]

That is a shame:( I hate to see these old beauties go.

[Néfertiti]

Quelle tristesse.

[Tineke]

I hoop they will soon find a new owner and save the building

[Shirley Banford]

Nice shot.

[Hubregt Visser]

Nice picture; I like old abandoned houses (picture wise).

[Pyrrhula]

A pity , houses being not use. Great capture to show

[bkb in the city]

@eudora Yes Diane that would be nice

[bkb in the city]

@grannysue I am sure this home must have been wonderful at one time

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@ruthmouch It is always sad to lose something this nice

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@ivan One of the reasons I stopped by to take the shot

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@psychographer Who knows. Maybe some one might step in and save it

[bkb in the city]

@happypat Most likely a developer wants the land which is so sad

[bkb in the city]

@fishers I am hoping that someone will step in and save it

[bkb in the city]

@ladyjane I am hoping that some how it can be saved

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots I am hoping that someone will see the good in saving it

[Darlene]

What a beautiful old home. It is too bad that they destroy them after a certain amount of time sitting empty. Very nice photo of it, Brian.

[bkb in the city]

@westcoastwallis Me too

[bkb in the city]

@montse Oui, il est

[bkb in the city]

[bkb in the city]

@lynnb That is the sad facts on the matter

[bkb in the city]

@mittens It really is very sad

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri

[bkb in the city]

@archaeofrog I am not sure if all cities have a B list

[bkb in the city]

@danette I am sure it was

[bkb in the city]

@maggiemae I do hope that someone will see the good in it

[bkb in the city]

@cathieg It really is a lovely house

[bkb in the city]

@nanderson Thanks Nancy. I do hope it can be saved

[bkb in the city]

@pandorasecho I am sure it would

[bkb in the city]

@helixconcepts Thanks Laura

[bkb in the city]

@aglennc That is the sad side of it. I know condos are important but why tear something like this down to build something new

[Anita Campbell]

@bkbinthecity I agree! And they'll also tear out all the beautiful old trees too. Wish builders would leave some of the full grown trees on property when they build..... They add so much character and charm..... as well as shade.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield You and me both Vikki

[bkb in the city]

@aglennc That is so true Anita

[Sally Ings]

How sad, it looks like it could be a beautiful home! What a shame if it does get demolished, hopefully it will find a loving owner!

[Jerri]

true; especially this one as it looks very warm and snuggled in around the trees with an inviting front porch and lovely scrollwork under the roofline.

[bkb in the city]

@salza I hope so too

[bkb in the city]

@moreyoulessme It really is a wonderful looking house

[Ellen E]

It is lovely. How sad.

[bkb in the city]

@ellen Very sad
