The exterior is being kept "as is" however the inside is in desperate need of repair, as well needs an elevator added for accessibility. There are two prominent non-profit tenants looking at taking up space in the building and have been offered "renovate to suit" renovations. Tyler Stewart of Stewart Properties is apparently the new owner. There are apparently no plans to demolish the building, but rather to maintain and improve it.

I suspect that this is a precursor of news to come on the new owner's intentions for the Tees & Persse warehouse on 1st Ave. I sincerely hope it involves retaining the building.
