Erin Mathews Yeah, we know all about the revered parkway and the amazing opportunity that was once 4307 Armstrong Parkway. A home beloved by it’s family, and a treasure for everyone who drove by. Sigh.
The only constant thing in life is change.

This breaks my heart. WHY would someone tear down the house to begin with – then, to add insult to injury, change their minds and put the empty lot on the market? How can we protect what’s left of the historic homes we have left? CANDY – can you let us know if/ how we can create a preservationist movement?
I took a client through this home when it was still for sale late last year. While it looked stately from the street, trust me when I say it was really dated (folks, it was plain bad) on the inside and needed to be torn down. I drove by over the weekend and I must say the lot is much better looking without that house on it. Look forward to seeing what gets built next on this lot. The trees are pretty amazing.
The interior photos made me smile. At minimum, this house would have needed an extreme interior makeover/gut job. My fav was the blue carpet room off the pool and the kitchen with the pinkish/Pepto Bismal colored cabinets. Gotta love the Old Rich Highland Park people. Priceless lack of taste.
