June 2009 revisit

This house has no chance. Mt Vernon is a short but rough street in Upper South Providence; the only charming item within four blocks being this blue home. Built in 1920, it hasn’t received a lick of updating in almost 90 years and is structurally showing all classic signs of an aging vacant. Though aside from a few broken window panes, it has not yet been pilfered, or burned, and the listing maintains the copper is still intact.

This house is currently for sale for $20,000. In six months, they won’t be able to give it away.

Other Forgotten Homes in this area include the jumanji biosphere 11 Comstock and the multiple-time-boarded-loser at 3 Mt Vernon.

Update April 2009

Front door kicked in, temporarily re-secured. Windows broken and boarded. Wonder now what’s missing from inside.

Update June 2009

Little more graffiti, couple of shingles missing.
