I would certainly object to that offer and find another suitable offer. The very original features do indeed need to be restored to its former glory for all to enjoy. There are plenty of colleges and universities that could put it to use, provided that it’s for sale.
“Have a very wonderful day in ‘Natalieland!’”
The Historic Resources Commission voted on December 4th 4-2 to deny the proposal by Whiteside Partners LLC. The LLC will appeal to the Corvallis City Council within the next 12 days.
