Controversy over Concord College buildings triggers injunction
The state Board of Regents plans to demolish McComas Hall and the Old Gymnasium for parking, while the Concord Heritage Association and others push preservation. Mercer County Circuit Judge William O. Bivens ordered a temporary halt to demolition sought by Princeton attorney Kathryn Bayless, as demolition had been set for December 19 during Christmas vacation. Association spokesmen say the structures are sound and could be repurposed. Aerial photos by Melvin Grubb.
