Well, you got that right. They don't call it "breaking news" for
nothing, do they?
Councilwoman Blackwell worked hard over the weekend to reconcile the
owner with concerned neighbors, but to no avail it seems. At least one
SHCA Board Member was involved in negotiations.
The property is the entire lot, running down to 43rd St. It's about an
acre of prime real estate. Given the $3 million price the owner paid for
it, there's no way it could remain just one single-family home with an
enormous backyard. The owner clearly spent $3 million for the land alone.

Banner headline? How about stop the presses! I walked by the
property early this evening and the demolition has already commenced.
The porches and back bay on the right-side building have been taken
down and the interior of the building is now exposed to the weather.
Oddly, there is NO permit posted anywhere on the property. I'd like
to know where is SHCA on this occasion? Isn't it a fundamental
principle of the association to encourage the preservation of
single-family homes, including the re-conversion of dwellings to
single-family whenever possible?
