Rescuing Historic Building Materials

Demolition of historic buildings begins on site of disputed Oregon Hill  development | Richmond Local News | richmond.com

 

There are instances where maintaining some buildings with historical significance is no worth the effort anymore. While some heritage buildings must be cherished and protected, there are some buildings that needs demolition. Demolishing any property that has historic value could be tough, but there are instances where it is the right choice. These instances particularly include:

 

  • When the building’s condition becomes a threat to the public’s safety.

This occurs when the building has a weak foundation or a serious structural defect. Demolishing of the said building will increase the property value and its safety.

 

  • When the building becomes a fire hazard, causes other issues, or contains asbestos.

If this is the scenario, then demolishing the building would be the best interest of the public.

 

  • When the building looks abandoned and old.

Demolishing such buildings will increase the value of its surrounding properties.

 

  • When the land becomes a potential use for the community’s benefit.

This could mean constructing local parks, community gardens, or building a new high-rise apartment.
