Via a reader we have the photo above, which shows that the historic mansion at 804 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant is no longer in existence. The building, which was more or less a textbook case of demolition by neglect, caught on fire last weekend, and both it and a neighboring building are now demolished. On the jump, a photo Montrose took of the building a year-and-a-half ago, when it was already in a sorry state.
