Oh wow! Amazing. Such a beautiful historic building left to deteriorate and become derelict.
Are there any plans to restore it and provide it to the community for community use? We restore old buildings in Australia and provide heritage overlays on them. Quite often they are repaired and then turned into community spaces like cafes or entertainment areas.
Quite often these things are planned and then the cash runs out. I see it time and time again. It's grade listed so can't be demolished due to it's historic legacy. Until someone decides to buy it, it will continue to rot away.
Similar things occur here or someone sets fire too it. One of the first houses in the western suburbs was "accidentally" burned down and then it was deemed too expensive to rebuild so now a vacant block of land sits in its place. A shame.
