Finally the deal for the house next door was done. The new owner happened to be an old Cardiologist colleague from my UMMC days. He had since left for private practice at about the same time as I did.
He bought the house and proceeded to do a wholesale renovation of the old house. Once completed, I suspect it would look unrecognisable to the old owner.
I suspect that he might raise another floor to the house .... We shall see ...
