They sold the old police/fire department building on W. Church Street, which would have made a superb city museum. It appears they will be selling Station 16 next. I have no reason to believe that they will invest any effort or funding to save the standpipe. If it happens, it will likely require a grass roots citizen effort - like usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-57880018211052874042008-04-17T18:41:00.000-04:002008-04-17T18:41:00.000-04:00BBNot sure if there is any effort at this time.

It should be preserved and maintained for posterity not as a thing of beauty as much as a part of history of both the city and the Greer Family.<BR/>I have seen some media attention on this structure but is there an organized movement afoot to preserve it?Bunker Britcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049263244361215358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-64642054031042308682008-04-17T16:13:00.000-04:002008-04-17T16:13:00.000-04:00Thank you Howard, I'm glad you stopped by.
