Midtown Under Attack!
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Everybody who has been through Midtown Tulsa lately has seen it…home teardowns, a proliferation of empty high dollar lots, two and sometimes three oversized McMansions or Snout Houses1 going up where once there had been one modest or even upscale home, and houses that simply don’t fit the existing neighborhood. On rare occasion, the home being torn down is dilapidated beyond reasonable rehabilitation, but in most cases the home being demolished is perfectly good older, and sometimes historic, housing stock.
