There has been a spate of demolitions along historic E. Long Street in the past year, an area that has already sacrificed so much of its architectural heritage. The most recent loss was the c1890s Second Empire style house at 1048 E. Long. This once beautiful residence was featured on our Most Endangered Buildings List for the past two years, but had been vacant and deteriorating for decades. It always pains us to lose a significant building, and it begs the question … what can be done?
