     History
    Abandoned house in Palmyra, Ontario. Originally owned by the Guyitt family.

    Sept 2022 - CTV News - "Chatham-Kent chief building official Paul Lacina said a municipal enforcement officer inspected the building earlier this month after a complaint was made. Lacina said the house was determined to be in contravention of the property standards bylaw"

    June 2023 - All efforts at appeals from Peter Anderson, grandson of Roy and Ethel Guyitt, failed to stop demolition. The historic home is torn down, ultimately stemming from the whines of one anonymous complainant.
