Park Avenue Home

I heard discussion last night that the stonework from a house that recently burned will be salvaged and possibly used in the landscaping of a potential park at the intersection of Wick and Logan.

I thought they might have been talking about this house.

This home burned to the ground on Tuesday, October 20, 2009.
Arson is suspected.

FYI

The next house heading east is for sale.

To discourage additional vandalism to this house, the high shrubs in front should be cut down.

Absolutely! And, you'd be able to see the architectural detail better.

I read on 44503live that this house is scheduled for demolition?!?!?!

I read that too. But I think you could still save it... I just don't know what the process is. Maybe you could call Anthony Kobak, and he could tell you if it's possible to save this house, and where to start.

My wife and I have been out to look at this house a few times this year, and would love to own and renovate it, however I can't find out much about it other than it is owned by Robert VanSickle??

I assume you've seen the problems near Wick Park thread? The following linked post gives lots of information about this house.

This is the view of the upper portion of the east side of the house.

Also, I only looked briefly, but I thought those were gas pipes for gas lighting?? Could have been wrong.

The long ramp connecting to the back door supports the nursing home idea, as there are no ground level doors for wheelchairs.

This could have been the old Park Ave Nursing Home. I lived down the street and I think it was a nursing home. This would have been in the late 70's. I think Mr. VAN SICKLE also had or has a nursing or group home of some sort on Illinois Ave. It is just around the corner from Park Ave.

This is the home on Park Avenue. I noticed that pipes for a sprinkler system were under the front porch roof. Was the home ever more than a single family dwelling?
