The house on the left is being taken down brick-by-brick to prevent damage to the adjoining structure.
 
Really glad to see this one under way. The Gehry house, while very old, was not a big loss.
 
^^^ That apartment is one of the biggest eyesores downtown. It even sticks out like a sore thumb in aerial photos. What the heck were they thinking when they approved that thing in the 60's? Anyways, I doubt it will be going away anytime soon. They do a great job maintaining it.
 
We have added a dataBase entry for 12° now, introduced by a front page story.

Now that they're done demolishing the Gehry house, I wish they'd move onto that apartment building in the background.

Indeed. If that building wasn't there Grange park would be a celebrated public garden - the whole area would feel different. As it is the park feels like a slightly seedy backwater.

Does anyone know what the holdup with this one is? The only work done in the last 3 months happened this week - 3 workers showed up to nail a couple 2x4's onto the wobbly gate.

My friend's grandmother lived in that tower years ago. Apparently it had quite the pest problem back then. I wouldn't be surprised if it has improved since it would be a great place to have an apartment. They might do a condo conversion.
