A pair of frame two-story structures sold by St Gregory the Great Parish in Andersonville have been razed and the lots permitted for two single-family residences. Three demolition permits were issued for the two buildings at 1621 and 1625 West Bryn Avenue on July 22, including one to remove a shared oversized garage at the alley behind the properties. Maxym Demolition of St Charles was contracted to to do the work at a reported cost of $22,500 for each frame building and $9,500 for the masonry garage. A visit to the site on September 7 showed only a small amount of rubble remaining.
