House no more

For more information about this house, see our latest post: The Straight Skinny About the Big White House. David wrote to tell us that the big white house in lower Wallingford (3519 Wallingford Avenue N.) has been demolished: Lots of changes going on in lower Wallingford.  I came home today to find the big house (I think actually a triplex) at 35th and Wallingford demolished!  Always stood out to me as such a big residence with a nice view.  Nothing but…
