Some months ago, when I was walking around the bay, I noticed a big For Sale go up outside one of my favourite old houses. Eventually it was sold. I looked forward to following it’s renovation on my daily walks. But nothing happened. It continued to be neglected and empty. One sad day I walked past to find it gone…. It had been demolished! And a new For Sale sign was put up. It is still for sale all these months later. What a waste of a beautiful house.
Luckily I did photograph it once, using my old Nokia phone.

Beautiful work!
Hello, I'm visiting from Photo Art (my first week participating!). What a shame this house is now gone, it looks so lovely and I love how you've used the texture on it. Beautifully done.
Wonderful treatments. Think I like the first with its moody, threatening clouds – but each one is beautiful.
magnificent rendering – great house and it is sad that that it was torn down …
I really like the processing you've done on the second picture!
What a shame it was demolished. It looks like it could have been made beautiful again.
Oh that is sad that they tore the house down. It seemed like a nice house and I love the way you processed your final piece.
Shame about the house coming down, it looked like it had potential, I like your second processed pic best, wonderful work!
Great edits on this lovely old home. Looks as if they really enjoyed the sunlight coming in. Can imagine this front room with a bit braided run on a wood floor. Too bad it was destroyed.
I agree with you: " What a waste of a beautiful house". Fine work with your picture.
what a BEauty!! I am often amazed at how things disappear or are simply left to just wither away. I love the fun you've had treating the photo. I can see how it would intrigue me, too. funny, you reminded me of the many derelict abandoned houses where I walk going here or there. I think I might go out with my camera and withOUT my 4-legged sidekick to see what I might find to play with!!
You certainly brought life and beauty to the old house. Very nice! So sad that is was demolished. It just needed someone with vision for it..
Nice work here 😉
That's too bad. Some minor renovations, new plants, and some roof edge protection would've easily made that house a real head-turner again.
