Going, going gone. We drove down Fox Meadow Road this week and noticed that something had changed. In fact, a split level home that sat on the corner of Fox Meadow Road and Ogden Road was gone. All that remains of 15 Ogden Road is the chimney. The house was approved for demolition in May, and now it’s gone. The house sold for $995,000 in August and the listing said, “needs TLC”. Here are photos of what was, what you see today. 
Another soon to be demolished Scarsdale icon is still standing. The house at 1 Duck Pond Road is still there, but looking more derelict and forlorn each day. Drive by soon to say your goodbyes.
