Meh that is a cute cottage, probably giving way to stucco ugliness..
It is definitely a cute cottage, but isn’t the demo permit for the garage only? Or does it mean structure AND garage, since the one below it says “garage only?”
@marmer: Thanks for the catch. We’ve swapped the photos to correct it.
I always wanted to buy “Flame and Forge”. I thought it would be cool to run a wire manufacturer in the heart of the Heights. I used to live on 23rd street and I could have walked to work!
Another dream dies.
Driving past the site on 25th St over the weekend, it looks like the entire block (bounded by 24th, 25th, Ashland and Rutland) has been vacated. Platted at 33-ft frontage, this would mean space for about 40 new home single family residences.
There also appears to be demo activity on the north side of 25th street on the same block. Add this to the warehouses on the 500 block of W 22nd and 23rd (part of the Sullivan Bros. project) and there’s probably potential for 60 new houses in a pretty small area. The price points on similar houses has been $450 to $550k, which means about $30M total. I’m not sure how quickly this area can absorb that much supply.

Or one new Walmart.
