Home of Daniel Nye

In 1916, the manufacturers of white pine lumber took out a magazine advertisement extolling the virtues of homes built with their product - a wood they claimed was both economical and durable.

Unfortunately, however well the Nye house may have withstood the elements, it could not withstand the developers' wrecking ball to which it eventually fell.
