I was in line at Coffee Bean the other day (as I am far too often, I'll admit) when I overheard two girls talking about the Gatsby house. I had decided to, rather than find out for sure that the house had been demolished, remain blissfully ignorant and imagine that someone stopped the historic mansion from being torn down. However, the conversation confirmed that it was indeed torn down. How sad. Hopefully they saved a lot of important artifacts and took lots of pictures before they demolished it.
RIP Gatsby House
