A great mixed group of committed preservationists are working hard to stop the scheduled demolition of this 111-year old Beaux Arts style building. As the organization Preservation Buffalo-Niagara declared in a statement, “Bethlehem Steel’s North Office represents the vital need for a strategic approach to dealing with our region's underutilized, irreplaceable historic assets.”
Sounds like a great idea! Important places shouldn’t get to such a crisis point. It’s amazing that the company that purchased the property failed to maintain the building and apparently encouraged decay. And the city of Lackawanna allowed it.
