Is this building still standing? From the map it looks like there is still a low-rise there.

Hi there,

I think it was still there when Google took the shot.  But from Street View it seems it had been remodelled.  I'll take a look the next time I'm in the neighbourhood.

It might possibly be the same house albeit now with extensions left right and centre.

Thanks Thomas, I'd forgotten about using Google to take a look.

It doesn't look like much of the original building remains - if it's still in there, it's been swallowed up pretty comprehensively by the extensions around it!
