Plus many board members do<BR/>not live near these buildings including Mr Taylor who lives on East 18th street so it says in<BR/>the listing of board members.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck to the folks that wish<BR/>to save this history from the big guys.Christopher Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960008057158135887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-26108435137159988952008-10-10T10:35:00.000-07:002008-10-10T10:35:00.000-07:00The Building you used to illustrateis actually#45 ...The Building you used to illustrate<BR/>is actually#45 & not part of this sale though it is the building where <BR/>George Gershwin worked at Jerome<BR/>Remick.<BR/>The landlord has said he is<BR/>not selling,however it is certainly<BR/>endangered under the present no historic landmark refusal of this<BR/>city,who does not care of it's musical heritage unless people<BR/>speak loud enough to save this<BR/>history.Christopher Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960008057158135887noreply@blogger.com
