~Vacant~

According to neighbors, this property has been vacant for over 20 years. Unless you count the nuisance wildlife that has taken up residence.
About 6 years ago complaints were made to the Housing Department that the structure was open in the rear potentially creating a hazard for children or anyone walking between the houses. The owner, who lives in Dupo, Il has come out several times and performed some work on the house. Before the fire at the end of the year in 2023, he had a lawn service maintain the yard. Since the fire, he has all but abandoned the property, leaving the City to have Munie come out and mow.
The fire was suspicious with neighbors capturing on film several vagrants occupying the house minutes before the smoke and eventual blaze began. Fire inspector said at the time that this was another in a string of suspicious fires of empty houses. Suspects were never identified.

This one evokes a sad/melancholy mood. Having gone through the loss of a home due to fire, I can relate to this one. Nice altering of stills and video clips.

Fortunately, no one was living there at the time. Sadly, no one had been living there for over 20 years, and the place was allowed to essentially rot.
The vagrants that set the fire were never caught despite starting numerous fires in other abandoned properties in the area and being caught briefly on camera.
