431 N. L. Street - City, please try again:

This is a letter sent to the Mayor today by Mr. McGow after the crew came by to secure the building. The building is still essentially unsecured. Apparently, the crew had plywood in the back of the truck, but was told not to use it as it was "too expensive". The neighbor cites how the City should secure the building according to its own Code.

This historic building is in serious jeopardy and to see how little the City cares is distressing, to say the least. Darrin Engle made a big point regarding the need to properly "mothball" the building so that further deterioration did not occur. Can the City please find a way to do this job properly?

Photos taken today illustrate the current condition of the property after the crew had finished “securing” the building:
