Two dilapidated homes awaited their fate Dec. 9 as demolition crews moved equipment on the property at 209 S. Oak St.

When it was done, all that was left of the two houses was a pile of debris. Demolition crews leveled the former two-story brick house on Thursday, followed by the smaller house to its south.
