I’m starting to notice some major structural problems at St. Augustine’s; I worry about its future. No one is coming to its rescue.
I presume the City will get stuck with its demolition?
If/when that occurs, it might be interesting for the P-D to document the feeding frenzy by scrappers for the remaining copper.
And of course the scumbag recycler will not raise a question when someone walks in with a huge copper cross – which should belong to the City.
It’s really sad to see the end result of what is left of irreplaceable well-designed architecture in an area where at one time was a place of growth / prosperity be left to ruins, then turn into a vacant lot, and the best we can hope for that property is to be replaced with plain cookie-cutter construction made up of metal, glass, & EIFS…
Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.
