Renovation, especially of older homes is much better on a historical sense than a fiscal one. That is the reason why so many homes are being demolished. The government doesn’t see character and charm, they only see how much it will cost.

I would die to have a house like that, that is my favorite style (double shotgun). If I could afford it, I would buy it sight unseen.

It’s just like what I said about your basement windoze, if you recall……

I have an alternative, sell it to LRA. Sell it to someone who will renovate it.

Looking at it I doubt a new house can be built on the lot and meet existing zoning requirements, most require a five foot side yard. Then there are building code requirements which require fire rated construction within five feet of he lot line.

If the building is demolished what can be built in its place?

I suspect this was a rental property with little insurance. It looks eminently repairable to me.
