We last visited this house back in 2007, but along with many of its neighbours, it is now one of many vacant boarded up houses along Felix.
Back in 2003 things were much nicer in the area, what a difference a few years makes… Even if these house don’t get demolished, they are well on their way to demolition by neglect…

This is hilarious! I've been in this house a bunch of times. My cousin used to own the house next door in this photo with all the windows. We'd go over and play poker with the old war vet who lived there, and he'd come over & hang out with us. He had lots of great stories and made a mean Caesar! This was about 7-10 years ago (during the time that lower photo was taken, for sure). Sad to see the place boarded-up, good times. Wonder if Art's still around!
How have I not come across this blog before?! It's fantastic. I'm very interested in old architecture, especially locally (I'm in Essex). Thanks for putting together this blog. It's great to see buildings that have-been/will-soon-be demolished receive some final recognition by having their images preserved in photos here. I also especially like the "Lost Essex County" entries; you should definitely do more!

I like the way you put that for some reason.
It is a fantastic site. I've learned alot and became even more interested in local history thanks to it.
