The building had a store front on the bottom level and several apartments on the upper levels. The owner was well insured and wanted to repair the building. Several of our so called “civic leaders” thought that they could put the property to better use, so they badgered the City Council into delaying the building permits. By the time the permits were issued the weather had caused further damage making the building not worth repairing. The building was torn down and now the lot is becoming a “community garden”.
