What will replace the burned out apartments on East?

[voyager12]

I suppose it would be too much to hope for apts to be rebuilt. The location is too valuable. I am sure it will be replaced by "hip" condos. No offense to condo owners. However, as one of the dying breed of renters in Dilworth I find all the conversions to be very sad. My apt is in a converted old house and I choose to believe my landlords assurances that he would "never sell". HAHA. Having a mix of incomes and diversity is what makes an urban neighborhood so attractive. The teachers, civil servants etc in my building could not live here without renting and they should not be exiled because they don't make as much as bankers and lawyers etc who can buy.They have every right to be able to live in a nice neighborhood. When all of us renters are finally driven out, Dilworth will have the socioeconomic composition of Ballantyne. Jumping off socialist soapbox. Camden Dilworth while ugly, at least allows for a small addition of new apts in the area but I would not be surprised if they go condo in a few years as well.

Where exactly is this on East?

[voyager12]

Across from the Greek Church. Its an older building and it was pretty much gutted a few months back.

I think it should become a nice garden community. with very nice apartments. and possibly a few whimsy shops.

Thanks for the photos, now I know what building we are talking about. I remember the fire.

I would hate to see that building be torn down as well.

This really was an affordable place to live in Dilworth. Most of the apartments were 750 sq ft and rented for $485 a month.

Aww, I loved that building. I haven't noticed it since the fire. Is it salvageable?

[archiham04]

Word is that the foundations are not suitable for renovation/rehab.

The Historic District Commission had an item on its agenda from a couple of weeks ago for a petition to demolish this building.
