the trolley-wreck building

I guess it's goodbye soon to the trolley-wreck building. City Council has approved purchase of the building by Economic Development, to tear it down and sell the lot to Minnick Mfg. next door for expansion. The Preservation Commission reviewed the issue at yesterday's meeting.
The building evidently sits in a flood plain, like Creamer's Hotel and other buildings on that block, so can't get financing due to insurance problems. It has been in such poor shape that it was never added to the Ohio Historic Inventory. And that area is zoned industrial.
All things considered, the Commission is not going to oppose demolition.
