The house I'm living in was slated for demolition so a city street could be widened. My late wife found out so we looked at the house and bought it. Moved it thirty miles away and had it restored and upgraded. Everybody that sees it comments on how beautiful it looks. Best money we ever spent, especially considering that the house is close to seventy years old!

It takes a special person like you to preserve history . My house is 160 and it too was slated for demolition. It was bought by another person before me who saw it as a fixer upper and flipped it for a price . I bought it and restored the restoration with old wood trim back to the 1860. How Long will it last after I leave it . Not long Im sure .

The lime mortar was dead, which is why it fell apart as he tickled it. The roof, sidings, facia, guttering and most of the windows were not original and not worth saving. He pulled out the truss support of the roof which caused the roof to sag onto the walls bit by bit eventually causing the collapse. The safest ( and traditional) way to knock it would have been from the street as its strength was in the gables and the corners but permissions may not have been granted. Anyway I would have taken it down by hand and salvaged every single brick.

I agree it's sad, the newer generations do not care about the past or their own family history. I can understand if the building had major structural damage that would not be worth fixing but so many buildings are torn down in the name of progress. I live in Appleton Wisconsin and their is a historical home called the Hearthstone Museum built in 1883, it was the first house in the world to be powered by Hydro-electricity. The city wanted to buy it and demolish it but the local community saved it and got it on the national register of historic places. If you get the chance look it up and look at the photos, it would have been a crime to demolish it, so much artistry and beauty.
