4152 Sheridan

Image Courtesy HAARGIS.

This beautiful mansion was located at 4152 Sheridan Rd. It was once the Coombs (Rowland) Funeral Home, and in the 1940s it was purchased by St. Mary's for use as a parish clubhouse. The first parish carnival was held on the grounds. What's located there today? You guessed it, condos. The below image was captured from Google street views. You can see the top of the tower at St. Mary's at the far upper right.

I have pictures of the demolition of the home if anyone wants to see them. Respond here . . .

Jeff--I would love to see them. Please e-mail them if you get the chance; I can post them here. Do you remember what year it was torn down?

It was torn down approximately 1999. Perhaps a year later.

By that time it was in horrible shape.

I actually like the condos that replaced it.

Much better looking than the typical new construction building.

Pirate, my guess was 2000, just based on when I moved to this block. I agree that the condos there are better than most!

My dad's funeral was at Rowland's. Also, beleive it or not, I met his brother (a cab driver) totally by coincidence while on a business trip to Ireland! I'd like the demolition photos too.
