I remember seeing this building since I was a kid. It has always looked abandoned.

demolish it, not worth rebuilding.
Might be too late for that one.
Not sure they can save this one through.
There is a house near where we live that is still in good repair which has the misfortune to be in an area that at a freeway exit. In fact that house was probably the reason that freeway exit is where it is, which was built back in the 1920s.
Lovely old place and if I could I would buy it and save it but it is probably going to be torn down and a commercial business built there. The land is worth more then the house.
Would have been a cool old house to preserve, decades ago. Looks beyond sane salvage now, even if it was the childhood home of a president or something like that.
The time to care about such houses id BEFORE they are rotten and fallen in.

if it wasn’t a national historic building with all the rules, maybe someone would have bought it and restored.
as usual, I think govt caused the problem.
Looks like the only thing holding it up is termites holding hands...
It’s a shame, but it really does look past saving.
