460 Conroy St is a pile of rubble.
When talking to developer John Walter a couple of years ago, he mentioned that the home was owned by an older lady who didn't wish to sell.
Walter wanted to demolish that house, as soon as it became available, so that he could build more new houses like the ones he's already developed on the street.
I'm not sure what exactly happened. I can find no record of it being demolished due to poor condition, I can find no record that the lady is deceased, and she's still listed as the property owner.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The three-family, 5000+ square-foot building was erected in 1870.

Damn! I love that building! You can see it from everywhere. I hadn't yet noticed it was gone. I will miss it. I would often drive up there just to look at it and marvel at its location and its lovely rounded windows and imagine the view they must have...The view of the hillside will not be the same.

The city had to take it down because of structural problems due to an extreme lack of maintenance. Other rehabbers in the neighborhood also liked the building and tried unsuccessfully for 20+ years to bring the owner on board the renovation train; to no avail.
Yeah, John Walter told us that whole story a few years back. It's definitely a shame.
