Sadly, it looks like the white house with the gable roof was torn down recently.

Very sad, indeed. The demolition was not legal, but proceeded anyway. I lived in one of those apartments for 12 years. My upstairs neighbor was Jim Thompson, the writer (The Getaway, The Grifters, The Killer Inside Me) and before him the dance team of Veloz and Yolanda. That address had quite a history. The owner was Leona Halliday, who lived at 1905 Grace Avenue. Her family made a fortune in Gillette Company stock and other business ventures. Mrs. Halliday owned many of the properties on Franklin Avenue, between Grace and Whitley and several more on Whitley.
