Wow, the time flies by; it seems like just yesterday I was posting pictures of abandoned buildings on Grand just north of Powell Hall. There have been some developments; the abandoned funeral home is being demolished. At whose behest, I do not know. I would bet there is nothing planned to replace the building.
The Charles Duncker Mansion’s demolition is just awful. Sturdily built, it surely could have been moth balled for years. Instead, it is sent to the trashbin of history. At this point I would be happy even if the columns were stolen; at least someone would enjoy them instead of ending up as landfill.
