A Heights house bites the dust

Submitted by Heightsmaster Brenden McLaughlin (sorry for the tardiness in getting it up).

Brenden says:

My neighbor Gayle took these cool pics of a house being demo'ed on Central between Park and Frances near Lee's Market. It had been derelict for a long time and was not rehabable. Don't know the story behind who owns it and what they have planned ... but maybe a blog post with pics might uncover something. This happened about two weeks ago.

Another friend that owns the Lee's building mentioned he also knew about the property coming down. He also pointed out it wasn't a real brick house, just faced that way (silly me ...)

So - anyone know anything about the lot or the plans?
