It is in such a prominent position in the city and needs attention just to tune the cityscape. It's a wonder that relevant authorities - such as an historical society - can't step in. Surely there is some time frame limit on leaving such a precious building this shabby way. Good luck on this one.Gemma Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540188839321484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-1519366316247098792016-10-01T19:45:38.129-04:002016-10-01T19:45:38.129-04:00Stark reminders of what happens when care is not t...Stark reminders of what happens when care is not taken.Mari Collierhttp://www.maricollier.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-12840127921974789262016-10-01T19:03:45.275-04:002016-10-01T19:03:45.275-04:00It could be turned into a nice apartment house or ...It could be turned into a nice apartment house or hotel with those lovely gable windows.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-88371749922483950922016-10-01T18:17:55.959-04:002016-10-01T18:17:55.959-04:00Like the behatted lion.
