PARKERSBURG — The house at 1208 Ann St. in Parkersburg was demolished Thursday following nearly 40 years of vacancy.
The property, once owned by the late Paul Curry, had remained unoccupied and deteriorating for decades before the city pf Parkersburg awarded the demolition contract to Jimmie Harper Construction.
The company, led by Jimmie Harper himself, carried out the teardown. According to Harper, the team follows state-mandated procedures to control dust and debris, including the use of water spray during demolition.
