This is in my county, within the jurisdiction of the county commission.
Apparently they are suffering from indeterminate leaks; it's an old
railroad station. County preservation commission staff suspects it may
just be the built-in gutters failing. Small town administrators who don't
know how to properly manage an assessment. One estimate for total
replacement is $200,000 from the total replacement people; a second
opinion roofer is proposing a stop-gap of acrylic elastomeric for $14,000
until they can raise the money.
Sigh.
