Built in 1910, it was torn down around 2023 after suffering roof damage in a 2017 fire. The house had wooden shingles, giving it a classic, traditional look. It had a symmetrical front, two stories, and a centered front door with decorative details. The building was a multi-family home with about 2,248 square feet of living space, according to Zillow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"3UXJVRWFRVBDXDT7KXCRXZ4QKQ\">Right now, the property is surrounded by a green construction fence with no signs to show what\u2019s planned. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens next on this corner, sitting opposite Clove Lakes Park.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Forest and Clove, whats next?\" class=\"article__image-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/X2CD2CPXDVDSVBULTNUDMFXQNI.jpg\"  \/>This is a 1980s photo of 533 Clove Rd.
