We did not deserve the charming, butter-yellow house at 158 South Oxford Street, and we are poised to lose it. The 165-year-old house was never included in any landmark districts, and documents filed last month show plans to take it down and build 17 apartments, "most likely condos," according to New York YIMBY, which broke news of a demolition permit last month.
A large portion of an original land in Universal Orlando 's Islands of Adventure is headed for demolition: After years spent sitting empty, the Lost Continent will soon be extinct. A demolition permit was filed with the city of Orlando last week, requesting permission to raze 4.9 acres of retail, show and attraction buildings in the theme park. A Universal spokesperson confirmed to the Orlando Business Journal that "construction activity in Lost Continent" will begin in the "coming months" as the area makes way for "future developments."
