Effort Stalls to Save Nelsonville FOE Building
Nelsonville shows little progress in preserving the Fraternal Order of Eagles hall on West Washington Street built in 1903. City officials say they lack funds and need a nonprofit with fundraising and restoration expertise to stabilize the back wall and secure the site, while engineers assess costs. The fire department condemned the structure earlier this year due to water damage.
