It's too bad there is no way of rescuing it....or barring that, saving pieces of it to use elsewhere. How sad.

I grew up on a street that runs south off Kingston Rd, just to the east of this bungalow. Growing up, I always loved this unique house. It is like no other home in the area. When I was about 6, my friend who lived across the street from me used to take piano lessons in that house. I'm 35 now, so that would have been in 1977. I can remember going with him once, and waiting on the porch. I too have been dismayed with the home's steady decline over the years. I can remember driving by and seeing some of the beautiful original wood divided-light windows on the east side of the house being replaced with smaller Home Depot style vinyl casements. They just boarded up the extra space around the new windows, with no effort to match the siding. I believe they also tore down the fireplace chimney at the front of the house. What a shame. The religious temple incarnation that you mention really was the ultimate insult to this house. I'm not sure what religion or sect occupied it, but from the look of the facade it must have been the church of the almighty candy-cane.

Why? Why? I've never seen such a thing! Bizarre and strange. Did the JonBenet killer or someone similar live here? It's just too weird. Why? Why? Why? I’ve never seen such a thing!
