I'll be dog if they didn't tear it down the very next day. It was at 2348 Hosea Williams where Second Avenue crosses Hosea - a forlorn corner that's coming back.


I've been passing here for more than 15 years but something struck me on February 2nd. I drove two blocks past it and thought: "Better go back and take a picture."

Dekalb County property tax records say it was built in 1910. I'll take you around the house counterclockwise. My full size pictures are in Flickr if you want to see more detail: 2348 Hosea Williams Kirkwood Teardown probably 1900-1915 East Lake at 2nd Ave Dekalb tax records say 1910


It was so beat up inside.




























Here's where it is.

Here's what the corner looked like on 2017-02-12

This is a good thing, the comeback corner called "2nd and Hosea" in East Lake thanks to the long term vision of the The East Lake Foundation.


I've been driving by this forlorn corner for years but never took a picture until the construction fences went up. This corner is going to be a Greater Good Barbecue. Bless them.


I admired the exuberance of this place, property records say it was built in 1949. Who knows exactly what it looked like then?


I can smell the BBQ. 


They buffed it.



Not what I thought they'd do.


But I can see why.



Let's eat.
