Dummitt's Confectionary on April 22, 2005.

LOCATION: 1300-04 Hebert Street; Old North St. Louis; Saint Louis, Missouri
DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: c. 1870
DATE OF ABANDONMENT: 1980s - demolition
CURRENT OWNER: Land Reutilization Authority

The decaying confenctionary building arrived in the 21st century, withstanding arsons, demolition and disinvestment. The building came so close to a day when someone inspired by the new energy of the neighborhood would have come to purchase and restore it. Alas, the owner was the city government's coldest shoulder, the Land Reutilization Authority, which wrecked the building in May 2005 after its roof had collapsed.
