Local, historic building to be demolished
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A Darke County building on the National Register of Historic Places will soon be no more. According to the Greenville Daily Advocate, the Brown Township Building, also known as Ansonia Town Hall, will be demolished. The decision was made after a commissioner's session last week. Planning & Zoning Director Susan Laux attended the meeting and spoke on the demolition process and how it'd be funded, namely through help from the ODOD. 'This property is on the National Register of Historic places. So, because of that, in order to use those funds to demo this property, we have to get a waiver from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). 'And so, we've went through that process. We've got the waiver approved. So, as a result of that, we'll be entering into a Memorandum of Understanding that we will try to retain a couple of historic pieces of the building and then display them somewhere in Ansonia.' 2 NEWS is working to learn if a demolition date has been set.
