Razed in Downey

DOWNEY, California — Owners of The Carpenters' former home have submitted plans to officials in Downey, a city about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, to raze the 39-year-old house.
The five-bedroom tract house, where siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter lived and penned some of their greatest hits, was featured on the cover of their 1973 hit album "Now & Then" (above). It was also where an anorexic Karen Carpenter collapsed in 1983 before dying.
