The main engine floor is cracked enough to let water seep through and that floor is nearly 12 inches thick. That can be verified in the basement at the manhole in the center of the ceiling. The second floor already has a dropped ceiling that creates a huge void space. The same would have to be done on the main flor to maintaina a heat and A/C enviroment that would be affordable. I cannot tell you how mant times the electrical system has been revamped and upgraded. The list goes on and on. That building has a lot of history and I would love to see it stand forever, but it is useless to the city. Any attempt to salvage it would only create additional waste of taxpayer money and merely delay the inevitable.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comments.Soapboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719733012433055243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-34196296481968194772007-10-01T17:51:00.000-04:002007-10-01T17:51:00.000-04:00Correct Soap: Plus Don't forget that flooding in t...Correct Soap: Plus Don't forget that flooding in the basement when the tide is high and the street is full of water. The falling chunks of concrete. The rusting out rebar in the foundation, the engine room floor the is so cracked it drains into the basement. Oh it would be nice to redo that building but if anyone does get I hope they can afford to fix it right, But like the old movie house it will be to costly to rehab or convert into a public asset. Sell it to private funds or wreck it build a new building don't waste any public money unless you have lots of it.OLDERSCHOOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060705569670002380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-88166322063513396862007-09-30T14:11:00.000-04:002007-09-30T14:11:00.000-04:00Get ready to move in!Maybe you base a couple hot d...Get ready to move in!<BR/>Maybe you base a couple hot dog carts there as well.Soapboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719733012433055243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-55999351999583323452007-09-30T12:58:00.000-04:002007-09-30T12:58:00.000-04:00I say it could be made into the world headquarters...I say it could be made into the world headquarters for "Fire in the Hole Photography"...lol.wbarrall74https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830873273168045581noreply@blogger.com
