These Six Teardowns are Done

A handful of teardowns. Two new whoppers, a big expansion, two pop-tops, three not-so-big houses, a squeezed-in modern. I can't keep up.

I didn't get here at the beginning. Pre-Depression level details, pretty amazing I think.

The chimney was the deal.

Might not be your thing but heck-of-a-job by Mark Arnold. The chimney is the prominent detail on the porch but it's hard to see in this picture.

This was cute before and in a really nice creek-bottom setting.

A pop-top.

It's still cute, a not so big house. Maggie Shannon architect.

Looks like it has always been there.

Pretty cute before. Look at the triple window, porch, and few-step grandma access.

Nice flat lot. No climbing with grocery bags.

I wasn't quite getting it until they installed the landscape then I got a crush. A not so big house, nice work Chip Murrah architect and Blake Builders.

and in the Old 4th Ward:

It held its own at 968 square feet. It's what caught my eye. Sidewalk level access really appeals to me, need the brick wall for a sense of enclose.

Already surrounded by teardowns, traditional left and modern right.

Hello garage door. It was on the Modern Atlanta tour last year and I enjoyed the inside.



Where mill houses used to be.

It was the "Faux Chateau" a transformed rancher by Barry Doss, R.I.P.. It was odd and I liked it a lot. Already surrounded by teardowns.

The former backyard from pictures I saved from the old real estate ad.

It grew.
