The house looks to be in pretty good shape to be burned. Sometimes it is cheaper to sell the house for $1 then have the new owner move it. Not that it is your house....lol. I hope you found some good stuff.

That house is a 1920s? Maybe a little earlier.

Looks like a perfectly good house-what a waste.

It does appear to have an older looking chimney. Those kind of went out of style with the newer home using propane and natural gas. I'd say chimneys went out during the late 50's and early 60's ..... so there should be some older stuff in there. just my guess

I spent about an hour out there this morning when I was taking these pictures...
Just didn't tell you all..
But the front yard, where I hope to find the most stuff, and the best stuff...
was a wash... meaning I found really nothing.. after spending 1/2 an hour walking around the
front yard I got no old signals and only a few zink pennies, a quarter and 2 nickels...
other than that, just a few scraps of cans.. (apparently already cleaned out by someone)
The back yard was a little better...
Got a "Girly" token... and 1 Roselvelt silver dime...
I did not have time to hunt it much..
I will be back tomorrow...
As for the age of the home, .... my house is 2 doors down and was built in the 50's
So I guise this might have been in the 40's not earlier...
I just can't see it...

Man that sucks! That house looks in really good condition that could be fixed up as a starter home for someone, especailly the way the economy is now. I could see a full deck on the back going from side door to back door. Some of those old houses has more character than the new ones built today. It is a shame they are going to torch it. But then again it may be full of termites as well.
Any finds is better than no finds. I would check out the back yard really good, especially around the swing set.

I don't know about that...
it's been vacant for about 3 years and apparently the city was getting on them about
this...
The Fire dept told me that these guys looked into fixing it up, but realized the cost would have been exorbatant...
unless of course all you guys on Treasure Net... want to Volunteer some of your time to
fix it up and then give it away...

I could understand that to a point. But some handy type do it all man could probably fix it up cheaper than the costs of new homes that being built today. Still sad to see it go, but I guess the fire department needs real training!
