A little over a decade after the Air Force spent some $1.2 million to renovate a former officer's home on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the home was demolished last month, according to information obtained by the Dayton Daily News.

The Air Force spent $1.24 million, plus $77,000 in furnishings, to renovate the Charles Taylor House, a 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom Tudor-style brick home, this newspaper reported in 2012.

The final expenditure was about $400,000 more than the project's initial estimated cost.

Base officials say the house was demolished this year after being designated "excess infrastructure."

At least it was just a house.  The Navy chose to renovate some cruisers at 1,000 times the cost of the house before trashing them.
