MONROE -- Demolition began Oct. 21 on one of the historic Buck Houses on S. Ann Street.

For years, the Monroe Hisotrical Society has strived to save the Historic Buck Houses at 135 and 143 S. Ann St. Where they stand is being prepared to be a new mixed-use apartment building. Monroe pioneer Siralpha Buck built both: One for his family in 1901, and one for his son in 1903.
