My efforts, even if unappreciated, are at the very least a case study of what is lost with demolition.

If others did not believe in the same there wouldn't be historical districts, historical societies stocked with photos of ordinary street scenes nor would the city be making a profit by offering pictures of houses from 1940s. Why would they if only a handful cared?

These pictures barely show much context. By chance, there may be a person or car in view, from which you can get a sense of the time. But the point is the house. It's existence.
