OHD Notes
10/16/2010 Edit: I posted this house back in July. I recently learned there is a demolition permit! Preservation Nation reported that a developer has recently applied for a demolition permit for the home. A website has started with information about the history and why it should be saved (link to the petition) and to stop it from being demolished. Join their Facebook page to keep up to date with the news of what happens or what you can do to help stop this beautiful historic home from turning into rubble. Efforts to stop the further demolition of the Gamble Estate has temporarily stopped it from being demolished, surely this one could be saved too. 12/5/2010 Edit: I have sad news about the house. It was torn down to make way for a housing development. I don't know if anything was salvaged before it was torn down. I'd hope that the developer was smart enough to let someone come in and take what they could at least.
