Before and After


The other day I showed you a photograph of a small ranch house behind a chain link fence, which I think is about to be demolished.  Let me take you back a bit to this house which I posted on the blog.  I always thought it was a nice house, a bit modern, on a large lot with tall trees all around.  What a lovely place to live!  This is a close view.


The wider view shows dumpsters on the property.  So there is trouble ahead for this nice house.  Little did I know!  I took this photograph last August.  I photographed some heavy equipment digging a foundation since then.  


Oh man, look at this!  They started the framing a month or so ago I think.  Look at it now!  "Mcmansion" is an understatement!  Yikes.  But here is the killer.  Remember all the trees?  All gone as well.  What a difference in "place" this is.  It changes everything...

  1. I prefer the prior home on a beautiful wooded lot. It was inviting and peaceful. Do you think this is a one family home? It is so huge, it looks like an apartment complex. So sad. Joan

  2. I agree with Joan that the building looks more like apartments. But it is so sad that they eliminated the trees. It was such a nice looking property. Betsey

  3. What a nice house with the stone front and beautiful landscaping. The after version looks horrible in comparison. So wasteful! Trace

  4. I was just looking at this property from above on Google Earth. You cannot see the home from the satellite view, because there were so many trees here. Sigh...
