Demo Update: Aaron Root House & the House at 32990 Lake Road

You can't see the Root House for the trees in this shot from Thursday night

The nice weather lately means that the bulldozers have been busy.

There's been lots of activity in the last few days around the old Captain Aaron Root house at Abbe Rd. and Colorado Avenue. Large trees are being uprooted, and excavation is taking place (below).

I grabbed this shot over my shoulder on Thursday morning

It's just a matter of time before the Root house comes tumbling down.

And out on Route 6 in Avon Lake, the old house behind the black iron gates was finally demolished (below).

It will be interesting to see if the vintage fence is retained to protect whatever eventually goes in there. I kind of hope it is.
