E-mail sent to Mayor and Commissioners: 431 N. L Street

Mayor and Commissioners:

First of all, I want to thank the City for addressing the boarding up of 431 N. L. Street. A crew came by on Saturday and did a very professional job on the first floor of the building.

However, the second floor remains undone. Not only is this condition dangerous in a hurricane situation, the open second floor windows allow birds and the elements inside the building. This advances the process of decay for one of our historic structures.

Please do not falsely economize. The job is really only half done. Please protect this structure by boarding and securing the second floor.

Below is an item from my blog, with pictures.

Laura, please pass this message on to Commissioner Lowe.

Thank you!

Wes Blackman
