Forgotten Providence

Another home brought to you by Deutsche Bank.

 
Unsecured, def. a safety hazard. Not even boarded!

 
Wide open and completely trashed on the inside. An empty foundation lies next door.

 
825sqft of suck. One of 8 derelict properties on this street, which is only a couple of blocks long. Cats are living the rubble surrounding the house. Cute, but messed up.

See it burn from 11/2/2006
“Fire companies in the West End district got an early morning workout at this 2.5 story wood frame 25 X 25 vacant multiple dwelling located at 69 Althea Street on November 2, 2006 at 07:45.”

It may be abandoned, but it looks a lot better than the other, derelict, bombed out 69 Althea St next door.

Purchased for $285K in 2006.

A paintball-stained apartment building from the 80′s. Neighbors says it’s looked this way for a decade, but one tenant remains.

Vinyl siding may be ugly, but this place sure could use some.

Sold for a high of [sigh] $340K in 2006. Foreclosed less than a year later.

All boarded up.

A second property nested in the same lot as 141.

Another Deutsche Bank property.

This street’s got it rough.

Multiple foreclosures since sale at $340K in 2005. Once in 2006, and again in 2008 to some other poor sap. Deutsche Bank owns the house next door too.

Profoundly unsecured, primarily because it is missing exterior walls. Once a corner market of some kind.
