A Swamplot reader sends this photo of an excavator limbering up before the main event at 1638 Bonnie Brae St. Sandcastle Homes bought the nearly 90-year-old building in July and filed plans to build a new house on the property last month. It’s nestled within the Montrose sub-neighborhood known as Castle Court, a few doors down from Dunlavy St.

Castle Court Crackup
A sad end for a historic Montrose property.
Michael …. historic in what way? Not every old building is historic
Ugh. Sandcastle Homes sounds like something with turrets, and a considerably less than 90 year lifespan.
That pic makes me think of I Robot.
Neil- I love that I Robot demo machine. I once stood in a house we were demolishing while the operator chomped down through the roof and ceiling about 40 feet away. The hair on my neck stood up!
