This house doesn’t even need an address…it’s just known as "the brown house".   Since I was photographing the bungalow tear down on Beach Drive, I thought I’d check out the latest notes posted on the infamous "brown house".

Good news…the home has been winterized!  It is still sitting there all boarded up waiting for it’s destiny of being torn down to emerge from the wreckage as shiny new townhomes!    At least the mattress window coverings are gone and the garbage in the front has been removed. 

Hopefully the sign in the window dated December 20, 2007 means that they are progressing with this poor old home.

I think it’s safe to say that this is a tear down the locals have been waiting for.

The bungalow at 3726 Beach Drive has been reduced to a pile of rubble and debris.

I wish I had a photo of the home when she was in her glory.   The only one I have is after it was tagged with a yellow sign, abandoned to be torn down.   West Seattle Blog has a series of photos documenting this tear down that are amazing.

That’s a bit of sarcasm you’re sensing, I’m not thrilled about this tear down (although I’m ready for that brown house to go).    I’m not sure why I like this house…I guess it just reminds me of where a sweet Grandma would have lived.

One less Seattle bungalow…one more townhome (4 units).
