Salvage, sure, but a real loss

This interesting house on S. Galvez Street started its descent toward destruction yesterday.  It was still very much livable, and it was occupied by several people in 2010.

Here's what it looked like.  Note both the elaborate ornamentation with unique brackets, moldings, and quoins on the facade.

But also note the strange form of the building itself - a scrunched type of camelback, as I've noted before.
