Vacant house in Wilkes-Barre demolished

The property was deemed structurally unsound by engineers.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A boarded-up property in Wilkes-Barre was demolished on Monday.

The structure was deemed structurally unsound by engineers and was deteriorating for several years.

The city paid a demolition company $15,500 to tear down the house at 120 Sambourne Street.

The money came from a community development block grant.

So far, there is no word on any plans for the now-empty lot in Wilkes-Barre.
