BONUS: Teardown 7 of 5 is done, big change in personality

By the time I noticed it already seemed to belong.

Here is house 1 of 5, house 2 of 5, house 3 of 5, house 4 of 5, and house 5 of 5, house 6 of 5.


According to tax records it's a 1951'er, 1568 square feet on 0.1997 acre. Do you think the Chinese Chippendale balustrade or walls of windows were orginal?


Morningside is our signature street. It has 3 different sections with 3 different personalities. As you head east the houses are a bit more modest and more ripe for tearing down.


The 1991 teardown on the right has about 3000 square feet on 1/5 acre with a garage built into the hill. Our teardown was cute but was looking a little puny.



Built by JackBilt Development Company LLC. I like the brick





Quite handsome I think and not like any of the others in this series.


My picture doesn't show it well, but the house looks as if it has always been there.

Here is house 1 of 5, house 2 of 5, house 3 of 5, house 4 of 5, and house 5 of 5, house 6 of 5.

BONUS: Teardown 6 of 5 is done, gabling a bungalow pop-top.

This was a 1925 bungalow, 1,633 square feet on .1722 acre.

There are so many of these left because they are handsome, practical, and lovable. Folks have figured out how to upgrade them so they can live "modern" in great old neighborhoods.

So they didn't tear this one down. They added 1,384 square feet and renovated the rest.

Will the green brick survive?


I'd seen this on 100's of times, it's on my regular route. It's a terminated vista where one road T-bones into another. You can't miss it.

Like most Atlanta houses it was a bit overgrown.


As usual I didn't look closely until the dumpster arrived. How about that brick? How about those windows How about the tall molding under the eaves?


Obviously a pop-top.


The sawed the back part of the roof clean off. Were they adding something on the back too?


Aha, 2-storying the back.


Aha.


What will happen to the green brick?


It's not green any more.


Gables galore.
