Lost Homes of Swansea

Our Topic of the Month will feature homes in Swansea that have been "lost." Some have been completely demolished and others have been altered from their original footprint. As a result, these homes have been or will be removed from any National Historic Registry designation list, if they were on the list to begin with.
