CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL
1300 PERDIDO STREET
RESULT: Deferred Owner Not Present
Jacque & Mary Raymond, owners. Housing Unit Demolition Task Force, applicant. Proposal for demolition.
This house was gutted, there must have been problems after the house was gutted.
looks like the side walls are blown out, maybe from rot/neglegence
I heard this was from over zealous gutting
I have photos of this very house as its in the neighborhood I was raised in. It did NOT look anywhere NEAR this bad in January of 2006 when I took those pictures… Those walls were NOT blown out at all!… clearly someone intentionally damaged this house to the point it appears in this photo–and that was damage done LONG after Katrina, and that is both a travesty, and a shame!
Don,
This looks to be a house gutted by Catholic Charities. So many of the houses they gutted were over gutted and had to be demolished. Accident? Who knows.
