The demolition of two old bungalows on Sutherland Drive continues with one of them, 151 Sutherland, being handled in an interesting way. The south wall of the little home is still standing and so is the partial front wall. It contains the pretty leaded-glass windows we mentioned in a previous post. You can see those windows from what was the inside of the house in the upper shot inset. This will be a huge house when it is finished. The excavation goes back to what seems to be just a few feet of the property line. It is assumed that the south wall is in place to grandfather the now non-conforming proximity to the neighbor’s home. It appears as if the wall sits on the property line. It is a common practice. Across the street at 146 Sutherland the bungalow has been fully demolished and awaits its new foundation. Previous PostSutherland Drive bungalow demolition goes on
