      We’ve covered this extensively. Short recap: Site purchased by developer a few years ago. They’re finally about to build. But instead of just demolishing this structure, they are allowing local preservationists to take possession of it (they’ve contributed to the moving fund too, which otherwise is community-crowdfunded). They’re moving it to a holding site while working on finding it someplace permanent for public display.

Sorry, comment time is over.
