The landmark structure once long housed a massively popular gymnastics centre popular with girls in the area, who were effectively left with nowhere to go.
All questions and requests for information concerning the borough's plans for the property went unanswered so it's no surprise that officials kept the impending sale secret.
The borough is accepting bids up until May 11 and all bidders must put up $10,000.

Thanks to Kevin Copps for the tip and the photo.
Did the city seize or buy the theatre?Municipalities shouldn't be buying theatres. Historical landmarks don't necessarily require municipal ownership for protection. The legal system does.
ReplyDeleteThe borough did not "buy"..it is a real estate agent who by mistake was elected as mayor who is responsible for taking over this heritage building...using a not for profit gymnastics organisation to justify the transaction ...shame on them..they destroyed a heritage building and then the community sens uniting 400 hundreds families using what had become the NDG girl gymnastics world (where my daughter trained for 4 years)....we left NDG because of that bad administration !
