Gone

While out walking today I came across this empty block:
Nothing unusual about that around here. Often I can hardly remember what the house looked like, but in this case I remember it well. I tried to buy it when I was house-hunting in 1997. Here's what it looked like, courtesy of Google Street View:
It had some quite nice art-deco features inside. I wonder if any were saved? At least this time there was no garden to mourn.

Wondering why the house was removed. Is the neighborhood old and decaying? Will a new house be built?

Most likely two new houses, Lee! Each of which will probably sell for more than this one would have.

Oh Vireya, this is just what is happening in my neighbourhood. Once the houses were removed and relocated...now they demolish them every time.
