MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - One of Mitchell's oldest houses might be torn down after being declared a nuisance by the city.
The city has filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to raze the property known as the Goodykuntz House, which was built in the 1880s.
The complaint says damage caused by a 2002 fire has made the house uninhabitable, and that debris has accumulated both inside and outside the house.
The house is owned by Clarence and Lauretta Larsen, who deny the city's allegations.
