Note: Story updated with “after” photo, after the jump.
You can almost see the poor thing quivering: A reader sends this photo of the last few minutes of the life of 219 W. 10th St. in the Heights. The 2,311-sq.-ft. home, dating to 1920, showed up in the Daily Demolition Report on Friday, and it appears that the dirty deed was done earlier this week. This 6,600-sq.-ft. lot is on the corner of W. 10th and Allston, just a few very narrow blocks up and over from those sites where Trammell Crow says it is going to build 2 Alexan apartment complexes.

This pic makes me sad.
I hope something nice goes up in its place. Does anyone know who the builder is?
yes. he’s a long-time builder, and has a lot of focus on this deal. the old house here was a POS.
