I hate to see beautiful buildings demolished. This would be a tragedy, but I expect it will happen.
No market for old buildings these days.

An article in today's Journal shows that there is interest in saving the library with money behind that interest.

Too expensive to fix up. Easier to tear down.

People will go through a lot of money to keep something they feel has significant historic value, though. I'm not sure the old library has enough historic significance to be worth spending a lot of money on, but I'm not exactly a history preservation enthusiast either. |

It's hard to put a price on our heritage. I just wonder if the building would even be in this situation had it been a little closer to downtown where it seams quite acceptable to spend money to keep the town looking nice. |
