Just south of 5th and Main on the east side of the street.  It's one of the few properties on that block NOT owned by Chris H.

I think he's talking about this building.  It's actually 11th & Market.

I will post some info on it later. I don't think the owner has specific plans, (imagine someone who actually has interest in saving the building which had a caved in roof!) but Im not positive.
