Pangrati dozer

Another old house has been mauled in Pangrati, to be replaced by a generic apartment building.
One Friday morning, I saw this Stilpionos Street gem being dramatically bashed in by a dozer, with dust rising in the morning sun.


For a place so keen on history, Athens has a penchant for destroying its historic
buildings! I hope the dozers stay away from Pangrati's other "monokatoikies" - and there are some beauties.
