Another recent fire, this just one block south of 42 Arch (which, even after the fire investigation, still sits unsecure).

No houses yet photographed. Take a picture if you find one.

Again, good looking out from toad:

So the story on this place as far as I know- 42 Arch had families in it since 04- went vacant around December 08 or January of this year I think. I noticed kids going to the back in March, but thought they were just cutting through to Wilson St. Should have known better. Its still unmolested from the front, but the backside reveals what really has been going on…

Stump also cruised the backside and gave a peek in the open doorways—this house is done.

images and info from toad

Was occupied in 2005-06. In 07 it went on the market for 90k, and dropped to 36k in 08 after the windows started being broken and the back door was kicked in. For sale sign went down after that. After about 8 months of open access, the windows and doors were boarded up in December of 08. Driveway is used by neighbors. Has pretty amazing details which despite the neglect are still relatively intact.

This was the house Stump mentioned in reference to nearby 42 Gilmore St.
