Move saves landmark building from demolition in North Ridgeville
Diederich moved the building to spare sentimental value and cut costs, though the project added expenses. Initial 140000 estimate rose due to solid sandstone under the foundation and spring water requiring two 35 foot wells. The move, delaying 10 weeks to 7 weeks underground work, will take 15 weeks total with a later return to a new site after utilities are installed. The barber shop and dentist office remain open, expecting to reoccupy by late July as the hill is leveled for better visibility.
