Palladian window in carriage house at 525 West 7th.
Another Plainfield landmark has bitten the dust -- literally.
The wooden-framed upper story of the carriage house at 525 West 7th Street was demolished this past week. The wall containing the window pictured above came down on Friday. The carriage house once boasted a squash court/ballroom on the second floor.
Formerly known as the Tyler Mansion, the house has been undergoing a transformation that began in January of last year, and seems now mostly finished, though no one appears to live in the house yet.

The yards of the freshly subdivided three lots are just piles of dirt, not even graced by weeds.
Ah, progress!
