Times have changed. Now they need to come up the ADA code. Funds are needed to be compliant , donations are welcome.
Not unusual in the Grove developers have set their sites on this precious piece of land. Let's keep their grubby hands away.

Although I've lived in this area since the mid '70s I was never in that building until last year. The sense of history one feels in there makes that building one of the Grove's treasures. Preserving it is really important. I am so sick of all the bloody development around here I could scream!
