Here is part of an article dated 10/13/72 from the Waterloo Daily Courier:

A temporary injunction was granted late Thursday afternoon halting demolition at the Paramount Theater building after owners of the adjacent building filed a petition claiming falling mortar and bricks were damaging their building. The injunction was granted on a petition filed Thursday afternoon in District Court, which named R. E. (Hap) Roolf Construction and Demolition, Inc., and the City of Waterloo as defendants.

The owners of all the property from the old theater to East Fifth Street and between Water Street and the Cedar River are Helen Parrish, 824 Edwards St., Cedar Falls, and Margaret Joslyn, Charleston, Mo. They filed the petition. They claim that bricks and mortar fell earlier Thursday on the roof and sidewalk of their property causing damage.

Judge Peter Van Metre issued the temporary injunction Thursday, setting a $100 bond on the plaintiff. Two high walls at the rearmost part of the old theater are all that remain. They are next to the building in question. The temporary injunction specifically restraints the demolition company from “causing brick and debris to fall upon plaintiffs' property and any building thereon.”
