AUGUST 25, 2011 - David Lambeth continues the packing process Thursday afternoon as he and his wife Leslie prepare to move out of their home on Haddington Court in Clayton. The colonial style houses of Haddington Court in Clayton are being demolished as part of Clayton's first federal flood buyout. The area was flooded in September of 2008. It makes me sad to think that no one will be able to enjoy all that we put into (the house), said David Lambeth who moved into the home with his wife in 1987, They're just going to bulldoze it all.
