The now-famous ‘Chair Watch’ house in North Dennis in the process of being demolished Dec. 15. The storm-damaged house, and news of its chair and red suitcase, made international news.

NORTH DENNIS – The remnants of a house, once the subject of the improbably popular Chair Watch Facebook page, now sit in the county landfill, but the story of a chair and red suitcase, abandoned in the home’s attic, live on in the social media community, where a group of over 13,000 follow updates.

Friday, Dec. 15, Mike Litchko demolished the house he owned – a property noticed by many who traveled Route 47 through Dennis Township. The house – or, more specifically, certain items in the attic – reached celebrity status after a straight-line wind took off the roof, leaving items exposed, including the now-famous chair, which sat perched at the south side of the structure, toying with gravity.
