Ray:
I think it was demolished between 1968 and 1969, probably 1968.  It was one 
of the first houses I was asked to research for the Department of Historic 
Resources and I began work for them in March of 1968.  I know we were 
hurrying on it as plans seemed inevitable that it would soon be torn down. 
Hope this helps!
