The house at 24 College Ave. S., which sits on the future site of Bayou Flats Lofts, across the road from City Hall and across the alley from La Playette, was demolished April 1. Collegeville Cos., the developer, had originally planned to begin construction back in November 2014, but the date was pushed back while they await a firm tenant for the restaurant/retail portion of the building. The previous owners of the house, the Loso family, gathered to watch the demolition.
