The house is gone. Excavators yesterday demolished the structure, which stood just west of the University Lutheran Chapel and once served the congregation as a parsonage. The house had been vacant for almost two years and needed a great deal of roof, furnace, plumbing and insulation repairs. "It needed more repairs than anyone wanted to give. And it was an eyesore," the Rev. Larry Harris, pastor at the Lutheran Chapel, said.

Several bystanders took pictures, some read books, a couple sunbathed and one wrote an article while the house was systematically knocked down and loaded into dump trucks.
