The house, profiled by the Portland Chronicle in February, received a demolition permit on March 12 after waiting out a 35-day demolition delay, suggesting it will be replaced by something other than a single-family home. However, as yet there are no construction permits filed.

The most recent permit other than the demolition is an alteration permit citing a large-scale remodel of the one-story house which describes mostly interior work. However, several days after applying for that permit the developer applied for demolition of the house.
