Both of these buildings should be redeveloped at the same time to give the critical mass so that they can both succeed. It would also help if city hall could make redevelopment of this entire two block segment of Main Street a critical downtown priority.

I was actually thinking of the Higgins Block when I posted this.
I'm also wondering about the mechanical systems in these buildings, as well as how sound they are structurally. Could they turn out to be a money pit for the developers? Something tells me they may need more than just a cosmetic face lift. Again, I really hope they are successful.
