man this place is sweet

A demolition permit has been issued for the Moore House, designed by Ohio architect Woodie Garber in 1952 for Alfred Moore. Moore sold the 5,160-square-foot wood-and-glass house and its 5.4-acre site to his son, who has built several houses there.

Last weekend, Moore allowed preservationists to salvage woodwork and other details from the house. He gave its original blueprints to a University of Cincinnati professor, whose students videotaped and photographed the house.

"To be able to document and salvage the house is, of course, a last resort," says Chris Magee, co-president of Cincinnati Form Follows Function, a nonprofit that formed in November 2005. "We got involved too late to find another buyer."
