I'm not sure if the middle house is occupied or not. But the green Blairmont house is definitely empty, and definitely not secured properly.

Daily Dose of Blairmont 90

  • 2725 Howard Street (VHS Partners LLC, April 2005, $5,000)

Bad board-up job, empty upper-floor windows, house left unsecured, yard not mowed, beautiful red brick architecture with an ornate cornice... yep, it's a Blairmont house!

  • 2729 Howard Street (VHS Partners LLC, November 2005, $25,000 for "multiple locations")


Okay okay, to be fair - not all Blairmont houses have a bad board-up job. Sometimes there's no boards at all.

Paul McKee also owns the vacant lot between them, which seems to be at least part of the "multiple locations" listed in the sales history. An LRA lot is next door.

Daily Dose of Blairmont 43

Blairmont's got both of the foreground houses -- including the slate blue one with the beautiful row of brackets. The next two are owner-occupied. Three other houses further down this JeffVanderLou block are also in Blairmont's hands.

Does Blairmont plan to demolish all of this? After all the slash-and-burn "renewal" of the last fifty years, haven't we outgrown that kind of madness?
