Unfortunately it has been so altered from its original design that it is not salvagable. I am all for historic renovation.

It will be sold for a huge loss ($1.1 million to a couple from Cali) from what was invested. I love historic buildings, but this is a long stretch to call a historic property. This is a great opportunity for “addition by substraction”.
