The demo crew showed up at 432 Grand Avenue to begin taking apart the interior of the old wood frame house. The three-story building has been without plumbing or electricity for several years now; holes in the roof have also been letting in rainwater for some time now. (The photo below is from the parlor floor last winter.) According to one of the workers, the floors and stairs were very unstable. The daughters of the woman who used to own the house have an approved permit for a “complete interior renovation” as well as the “addition of partial penthouse floor” and an “exterior front facade restoration.” The house’s twin next door is at the tail end of a painstaking two-year renovation. Let’s hope it’s not impacted by what will surely be extensive structural work at Number 432.
