The house at 1827 Palmyra, which featured a wraparound porch that extended along the length of its side, was razed yesterday.
The day before, crews had been sniffing around the building, and I happened to snap this shot - where a worker seemed to try to hide behind a rooftop air conditioner as I approached.
(Note, too, the many individual pitches to the various roof components - added on over time off the back of the house).
The two houses immediately adjacent, however, appear to be prepared now for relocation off-site. One is the great 2-bay shotgun at 1823 Palmyra - I hope as much of the classic front porch setup can be preserved and moved along with the house. The other is a double shotgun at 1829-31 Palmyra, which has had a bit of unsympathetic treatment over the years, but which still has great bones.
