It's a beautiful classic that has been well maintained for over 100 years.....and yes, it will be torn down this week. Shameful! The house was built in 1901.

I realize HP isn't a "suburb" but this seems to apply, regardless: "Suburbs. Where they rip out all the tree and name streets after them." Outrageous.

Even by HP standards. Since it has a "Sold!" sign out front I'd give that house no more than a day or two before it is nothing more than 6 feet high. The trees are left that height so that the bulldozer can rip 'em out of the ground, roots and all. Nice house. Looks like it was remodeled not too long ago. Not that it matters now.
