A Sad Day on Shuter Street

Anyone or anything can die of neglect ... the older it is the more likely that will happen. But it's a sad time for historians and local residents who love the look and feel of an old neighborhood.

"Conservationists have been predicting the loss of Walnut Hall to "demolition by neglect" for years. As a result of the collapse, the city's last row of 19th century Georgian townhomes will be demolished."

It is unfortunate, because these buildings could have easily been converted to some other modern use such as office or retail space.
