Easement donated in partnership with the Weisblat family
In late January, shortly after being ordered to sell Price Tower, its owners declared bankruptcy. With utilities shut off, we are concerned about the effects of freezing temperatures on the building, and remain fully engaged in enforcing our easement protecting both building & collection.
