We lost an Orange Packing Plant last year with the College buying the property and leveling the packing plant for their use. This other is the Mote Morris House that is 125 years old and owned by the City of Leesburg renting out to the Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately bringing it down will not be by choice. A fire broke out causing significant structural damage. As of this writing they are not sure if a vagrant set the fire or if it was due to some other cause (arson, electrical?). A few weeks ago a vagrant was caught and chased off trying to light a fire (to keep warm I guess) on the gazebo that sits on the property.
Here is a sketch I just finished today as a tribute to a building several in our sketching group hold dear and for one reason as mentioned below.
