Southend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - January 18, 1980 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (continued) <br />Derbeck: Suppose the State Review <br />rd says that the Odd Fellows <br />lding does not belong in the historic <br />trict, then that should be the.end of <br />sideration of the Odd Fellows Building <br />a historic building? <br />MT. Nimtz: That is correct. We anticipate, <br />OT we are hoping, that the State Review <br />Board will make such a determination in light <br />of the previous history of this consideration. <br />Derbeck: If they decide against it as <br />historic building, would that affect <br />ur action to tear it down? <br />Ellison: Please bear in mind that Mayor <br />nt publicly stated that he wanted to <br />three months to examine the issue very <br />fully himself and work with the Commission. <br />as a practical matter, Mayor Parent will of <br />se continue to try to examine the <br />ding, etc. He may not necessarily recommend <br />we proceed with.demolition. <br />Nimtz: Ms. Derbeck, from my point of <br />W1 there are a number of factors which <br />1 be involved.

You have <br />aesthetic angle as to how it fits into <br />overall plan or proposal. The other <br />ng is the engineering or construction <br />renovating the building. I believe <br />re are five or six elements to be <br />s idered in our decision. One of which <br />the historic, one of which is the Mayor's <br />-27- <br />
