The razing of the Walls’ Apartments in Rehoboth has begun. The city issued a permit March 11 to demolish the two, one-story, multifamily structures and an accessory structure at 104 Scarborough Ave. The demolition wasn’t permitted to begin before April 12.
The 16 Scarborough Avenue cottages are part of a complex that also includes several buildings along Christian Street. The Lingo family and real estate company purchased Walls’ Apartments in March 2014.
Ann Walls McCool owned and operated the apartments from 1951 until her death 2013.
