Roll Away ~ Pasadena

A non-profit group began moving part of the historic Herkimer Arms Apartments from its near century-old home on Union Street to its new location on Raymond Street. When the building was slated for demolition last March, non-profit group Heritage Housing Partners purchased the building for $10 from the Fuller Theological Seminary.
The building was designed by famous architects Charles and Henry Green. More

Glad to see they saved this building across from the PMCA. The city of Pasadena isn’t very good about preservation vs. development. Anything historic there is there by grace alone.

Is that a typo or did they really pay $10 ?
