Dang. Another Victorian beauty belongs to the ages.

Thanks for the photos Pcm, sad though they may be.

Ray, what would a home like that fetch in Henderson?
(Even with the real estate collapse)

What does Matty Moron want to do there?

:-(

In all seriousness, I hope this beautiful structure is salvageable.

Can't make a comparison, Bobl; there ARE no Victorian homes in Henderson. There wasn't even a house in the entire current city limits until 1945.

Based on size, I'd guess that house had at least 3,000 square feet, so I'd reckon around $450,000, down 25% from two years ago.

You can get a "before" picture on google maps street view. Type in 64 Sibley Detroit, MI

Yep, good view, Dfd. It's usually frustrating how much of Detroit proper is still missing on the Google street view. Wish they'd get moving.

Great shots Kate. This was another tragic loss. Especially considering it damaged the equally impressive -- yet occupied -- house directly next to it. They were last remaining structures of this type in the entire area between Park and Woodward, Fisher Fwy & Temple. Imagine nearly the whole neighborhood like this at one time. Wonder what it will look like five, or ten years from today.

I can imagine how breathtaking that building must have been. It makes me sad we have such crappy pre-fab stuff going up today.

I guess Leannam doesn't think we in the Ozarks count? Tsk, tsk tsk. I had to laugh almost out loud when I read Northern Arkansas BOONIES!

It's beautiful here Leannam, you should visit :-)

ps: Funny thing is that many of us really don't WANT to be included on Google's precious invasion of privacy machine.

Anyone know if the owner was insured or plans to rebuild?
