The tour, attended by nearly four dozen invitees on Jan. 31, was put on by some of the developers who are seeking to turn the brick structure into an apartment building in the heart of town.
Zach and Tracy McNew made their pitch to the assembled crowd, explaining why the need to preserve and refurbish the historic building is better than tearing it down.
