Judge orders 6-story downtown Battle Creek tower demolished

A judge has ordered that a 120-year-old, six-story building in downtown Battle Creek be demolished. Calhoun County Circuit Court Judge Sarah Lincoln on Thursday granted a motion from the City of Battle Creek to remove part of the Binder Building at 34 E. Michigan Ave. because it is unsafe. The judge's decision may end a fight between the city and the building's owner, Bryant DeBolt, about the future of the stone triangle-shaped tower built in 1900...
It is one of the more unique historic structures in downtown Battle Creek. At least the portion that will be demolished will not leave a gaping hole on Michigan Ave. as it is on the back alley side - google street view.
