  Yes, it is all-too-typical.  I was just tromping around a recently demo'd cellar hole here in Sandwich.  Gone for good.  Another case of town-approved vandalism.  The few standing pieces of split granite foundation not fit for a pauper's grave.    I did salvage a nice double-stamped West Barnstable brick.  

   

  I'm sure our window folks here might want the sash if they are old.  GOOD LUCK DUDLEY!

  How about a photograph of that endangered 1780 Dudley house?

  I have just tried to spread the word on Twitter.  Let us see whether new media can help to rescue old structures.
