Yes it was built in 1869 however it was gone long before the 1980's! One source says it was sold for removal in 1948. I was born in the 1950's and it was never there in my lifetime.

Glenn Johnston I have checked the site i downloaded this from Glenn, and i misquoted. It says it was demolished BEFORE the 1980s, so there is a wide margin. Thank you for pointing that out.
