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. ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |

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. ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |

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. |
