A couple of readers have emailed us in recent days, asking if we’d heard anything about the demolition ongoing at the southwest corner of 20th & Waverly. We tried to do a little research into what was going on at 2001 Waverly St. and only after checking in with the owners did we get any answers.

In the past

A couple of days ago

We would have to imagine that the corner property pictured above was at one time a really attractive building. Over the years, though, vinyl sheathing on the facade and white stucco on the southern wall have definitely taken away from the building’s original beauty. No matter, in a few days the whole thing will be a mere memory.

According to the owner, who purchased the property earlier this year, plans for this corner include the construction of a new single family home. This home will be really large, as it will span both the corner property and the garage next door. From what we can tell, the existing garage will remain and will be integrated into the new building. With the right finishes, this will easily be a million-dollar-plus home, though whether it will be offered for sale or occupied by the developers themselves we couldn’t tell you.

Looking forward to seeing this building go up in the coming year.
