Historic Lerner's Shop at a Cross Roads

[Houseboat Mike]

Anyone know why the Lerner's building was torn down instead of the proposed remodel?

As I recall they said the bricks and mortar were so decayed no one could go inside. I went in as a prospective buyer but even with hard hats we were not allowed to inspect it in detail, whole areas completely off limits including the second floor.
