Last Friday, Buffalo’s historic Great Northern Grain Elevator seemed to be doomed, but over the weekend, a state judge put the brakes on a demolition order.
Now, according to a report at WIVB, a well-known real estate developer wants to save the landmark – a second prominent developer could be stepping up, too.
After heavy winds caused a partial collapse of the grain elevator’s north wall, its owner, ADM asked for an emergency demolition order, citing danger to public safety.
But over the weekend, a preservationists group, the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture and Culture sued and got a temporary restraining order to save the Buffalo landmark.
Now that the demolition is on hold, WIVB says another well-known developer, Rocco Termini, is also interested in the grain elevator.
