This is a house built in 1897.  The thumbnail picture is what it looked like probably over 10 years ago.  It was 4122 square feet, and well built. It actually has wood boards that where nearly 2' wide, around the exterior.  Someone bought it, and turned it into apartments or "crack shacks" as we call them.  It was a filthy nasty run-down place, in poor condition.  The small "basement" was full of carpet all the way to the top - we assume when they "remodeled" they had holes in the flooring and just dropped rolls of carpet down into it because the basement wasn't deep enough to be a walk-in.  Detached garage was literally filled with garbage. The exterior had asbestos so it had to be taken off first before any demo work could be done. Before demo, on the top level apartment, the guys strung a cable around the back upper wall, that was extremely close to the neighboring house, to be able to pull that wall down and forward, since the excavator could not reach it and they didn't want it falling back into the neighbors. Kind of sad to see it go and too bad it wasn't better taken care of!

Videos of the day of demo are to come, along with some before, during and after photos once completed.
