Result: This house is up for review at next Monday’s Meeting

The City Attorney’s Neighborhood One, Housing Unit Task Demolition Task Force has applied to demolish this two-story structure in Central City. The owner, the Second Mount Calvary Baptist Church permitted this building to fall into blight in recent years and intends to leave the lot vacant. Churches consistently purchase property, allow it to blight and have it torn down by the city or tear it down themselves simply to bank land around a church. There are about six churches in one square block in this neighborhood, they are not open, there are few residents who have to returned to attend. However, the city’s new wifi system is available here.

Historic District Landmarks Commission Meeting Agenda

Council Chambers, 9:30 a.m.
City Hall

Result: Step One: Formal Citation Issued, Demolition By Neglect

The facade of this two-story reveals the stitches of what used to be the original, full length, windows. Probably a balcony too. The building has been stripped of most of the original architectural charm, remodeled inside with suspended ceilings and neglected. The city assessor’s website doesn’t contain any information on this address. I will update this post after my next visit to City Hall.
