Goodbye Red House

Last week the house two doors down was demolished. I loved the house and was hoping the new owners could add on instead of destroy, but it wasn't meant to be. The house won an architectural award when it was first built and it was featured in Better Homes and Gardens sometime in the 1950s. At least that is what the old timers in the neighborhood say. It had a great butterfly roof, wonderful wood work, and lots of cool angles. I will miss seeing it every day. The boys were excited to see the demolition so we spent some time watching. I'm just hoping whoever buys the house across the street from us decides to remodel and not tear down.
