Wrecking

A small, single-story house with light-colored siding has its windows and doors boarded up with plywood. The garage door is covered and marked with the number “429” in red spray paint. Wooden planks are nailed across the front door. The yard is overgrown with tall grass and shrubs, and trees provide shade around the property. A neighboring house, also boarded up, is partially visible in the background.
