Walls – This wall can be demolished, right

demolitionload-bearingstructuralwalls

Seems obvious to me that there is no load bearing on this wall since the wall stops at this point, but would love a second opinion.

Your reason given (the wall stops - plenty of bearing walls do that) is not sound, but by cursory examination you appear to have a clearspan roof supported by beams that would have no reason to depend on this wall for support, so you are likely good to go. I'm guessing 1960's or early 1970's era based on the style (or when the style was popular in my area, anyway.)

As Ed notes, turn off the power first...
