Changes on Wallace Street

This unusual  house was on the corner of Wallace and 19th (3902 West 19th Avenue).  It appears to have been built in the 1970's, or perhaps it was an extensive remodeling of an older house.  In any case, it was torn down in 2011 or 2012.

Built in 1946 on the corner of West 41st Avenue and Wallace Street, at 5687 Wallace.  It is on a wide lot of 78 feet that could have been split into two lots, but only one house appears to be under construction.  Torn down in late 2011 or early 2012.

Demolitions on West 39th Avenue

West 39th Avenue has wide lots, attractive for building large new houses. These three in the 4000 block join two previous demolitions in that block. Those two houses were replaced by luxury multimillion dollar houses that have spent their lives being for sale.  I missed getting a photo of 4069 before it was demolished.  It all adds up to six demolitions on the one 4000 block.

4026 West 39th Avenue on October 30, 2011. Torn down November 2011.

4049 West 39th Avenue. Torn down September or October 2011.

4055 West 39th Avenue. Torn down 2012.

This one at 3349 West 39th Avenue is east of Dunbar Street, but there are the same wide lots. Torn down 2012.

West of Dunbar Street in the 30's

A substantial "Tudor" at 4015 West 35th Avenue. Torn down in 2011 or 2012.

The photo does not do justice to this lovely corner house at 3893 West 34th Avenue. Torn down in 2012.

Built in 1947 at 3906 West 34th Avenue.  Torn down in 2011 or 2012. Those little round windows usually mean a 1940's construction.

This house is smaller and likely older than the above three, and it was advertised as a "super Dunbar starter."  However, it met the same fate as three other houses on its same side of the block, within a 13-month period.  It will not be available as a "starter" because it was torn down on December 5 or 6, 2012.  3727 West 30th Avenue.
