Heading through JeffVanderLou on North Market, one inevitably sees something new, or more often, a house or two that is even more devastated than the last time.

This house sits all by itself now, with nothing surrounding it.

It looks like this house might have been repaired? It’s abandoned now, and luckily not targeted by brick thieves due to its green paint.

There is very little left of this church, which had been hit by brick thieves years ago, as can be seen in this earlier post. This whole area was wracked by brick theft back in 2010-11

This house’s salvation is obvious; its thick layer of permastone has rendered its brick worthless. I was surprised to realize I had photographed its destroyed neighbors years before.
