Me, too. The best I have heard of was the Francis Scott Key House in Georgetown, which was disassembled in the early 50's and subsequent;y lost. As the Wash. Post observed, It's one thing to lose a house key, but quite another to lose the Key House.

In preparation for a meeting of the Professional Standards and Ethics
Committee of AASLH, I am gathering case studies of historic sites that
have deaccessioned or removed historic buildings, or cases in which an
historic site museum has closed and transferred the property to another
organization.
These case studies will help us develop policies on best practices and
professional standards, so please give me examples, stories, lessons
learned, or references so we can help the field. You're welcome to
contact me off-site as well. Thanks!
