we mentioned that we missed a house razing at 6520 Carrollton Avenue. A reader then sent this in!
Hey, Alan,
I took this photograph on July 8th, 2023. I did not know at the time that you were collecting demolition photos for the archive, but I learned that that's what you aim to do in the most recent BRRR. One of my bandmates used to live in the house, and it was sort of across the street from the Cake Bake Bakery, on Carrollton Ave. The address was most likely 6520.

Here is how the house looked in 2002 when it was The Wellness Space. My research shows that famed Indiana artist Nancy Noel lived there in 1969, and became the Noel Art Gallery in 1977.
