Century-old hotel to undergo partial demolition
The sprawling property in downtown Cambria, Wisconsin was erected 100 years ago, designed to be a hotel, and today it is a crumbling blight on the neighborhood. The owner wants to tear down most of the building and try to save the two attached buildings at 206 and 208 W. Edgewater Street. Two engineers were asked to assess the property recently and concluded that most of it was beyond redemption and would be too costly to try and save. As late as January, 10 apartments in the building were occupied. Tenants were given 10 days to move before the building was sealed by the fire department. The village board asked the owner to have the asbestos and other hazardous materials removed and the building torn down within 60 days, if possible.
