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!
