You win some, You lose some!

This old 1955  ad caught my eye:

Here is what you would get for $25,000.
"This quality home is on a beautiful large lot 120 by 160 ft in a good southwest neighborhood. Butler-Blessed Sacrament district.  Six spacious rooms on first floor. Five rooms and 1 1/2 baths on second floor. Floored attic, full high ceilinged basement with shower and stool. Oil hot water heat, 2 car garage with storage loft.  This property isin excellent condition and can easily be converted to duplex."


This is a photo of the house
when it was built in 1922.

I drive down S. Grand Ave West frequently but sure don't remember this gem.

This is what stands there now:
 We lost this one!

I lived on Whittier Avenue beginning in 1960 - as far back as I can remember, the Hawthorne Apartments have been there since then. Too bad, that was a beautiful home - it must have been razed in the 1950s
