It's hard to believe this was standing in Virginia Highland less than a month ago, perhaps in rural Georgia but not here. It was a 1914 bungalow converted to a duplex.

I'll start out back and walk around clockwise.

 
This is the back, the west side.

The back and back stair to Unit A.

P1170785-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Unit-B-North-Wall-bathroom-Ktichen-Back-door.
This is the north side. I'd guess they added the door and steps when the made it a duplex. The Unit B foyer was probably a bedroom closet.

P1170786-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Unit-B-North-Wall-Bedfroom-bathroom-Ktichen-Back-windows
From right to left: Bedroom casement (now Unit B kitchen), bathroom single double-hung, Bedroom T-shaped.

Painting the triangle glass probably saved a lot of painting time.

P1170788-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Unit-B-North-Wall-bathroom-double-hung-window
They painted all the side window triangles like this.

P1170789-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Unit-B-North-Wall-bedroom-T-Windows
I don't recall seeing another T-shaped window like this. This was the Unit B bedroom window.

P1170790-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Unit-B-North-Wall-parlor-triple-windows
This was the north window to the original den, now the Unit B living room on the northeast corner.

Looking toward the west along the north wall.

P1170791-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland-Teardown-before-Porch-east-facade-A-unit-on-left-bay-window-columns
The front faces east, Unit A to the left, Unit B to the right.

P1170758-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-North-Unit-B-parlor-windows-from-porch
The single window facing east of the Unit B living room. They didn't paint the triangles on the front windows.

P1170760-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-Porch-Unit-A-left--Unite-B-Right-East-facing-Bay-window
The bay window belonged to Unit A.

P1170762-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-porch-square-columns-ceiling-bracket-detail-2
Sturdy craftsman detailing.

P1170757-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-porch-double-square-columns-ne-corner-detail-plinth
Straightforward and impressive.

P1170756-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-porch-looking-east-to-Grace-Lutheran
This is the view from the front doors looking east across North Highland toward Grace Lutheran Church.

P1170761-2013-03-19--1148-North-Highland -VaHi-Teardown-before-Unit-A-Parlor-chimney-south-side-of-house-facing-west
This is the overgrown south side.

P1020739-2011-11-28--1148-North-Highland-VaHi-Teardown-maybe-South-Facade
The south side had a bay window on the dining room. It had a blue tarp for years.

It's shame. Even in ruin this was a great facade and nobody could see it.

P1020737-2011-11-28--1148-North-Highland-VaHi-Teardown-maybe-West-back
To the back again.

P1020740-2011-11-28--1148-North-Highland-VaHi-Teardown-maybe-East-Facade-porch
I'm not enjoying this but I'm glad to have a few pictures.
