Daily Dose of Blairmont 55

Left to right:

• 2949 Montgomery Street (privately owned)
  
• 2947 Montgomery Street (Sheridan Place LLC, December 2006)
  
• 2945 Montgomery Street (N & G Ventures LLC, May 2006)

February 2008

I must apologize for the lack of a good introductory photograph of all three buildings. Sometimes the flabbergasting sight of a building destroyed by brick rustling just makes a body forget such concerns.





The thieves destroyed half of the privately owned building, completely annihilated one of the Blairmont buildings, and damaged a corner of the other -- just enough that its chances of recovery are now much dimmer than they would have been.


May 2005 - further collapse
