Mr. William Attridge
15 Cross Street
Salem, Mass. 01970
Dear Mr. Cross: I
Just wanted to let you know our feelings regarding the A
Stable. Your request had not been forgotten. After I spoke with 3K
you in the Historic Salem office, I made a preliminary judgment I
as to the merit of salvaging the building. However I wanted to 3�E
withhold comment until Mr. Russell Wright was in town since he
has much experience in this area. He agreed that despite the
architectural merit of the building, it does not warrant re-
habilitation. In order to renovate it would be necessary to
39 invest substantial monies. Furthermore, we are fearful that
you would not recoup your investment upon resale. While Cross 39
11 Street and other streets north of Bridge Street boast many attrac- JK
39 tive properties, the neighborhood remains in a state of tran- 39
iff sition.
3
yi I do not know what your future plans for the site will be.
It certainly is sad to think such a fine stable is beyond
reasonable repair. However, that appears to be the case.
ifFire and the years have taken their toll.
If I can be of any further assistance please call as I am 39
31 most interested in the property. Perhaps you should contact the 3K
City Building Inspector with respect to possible safety regula- 3K
tions for abandoned buildings. X
Hope to see you again.
S cerely,
39� eath r ge, Pro6e Atrector 32
