Here in the DC area, they do that all the time - the take the facade from a historic old row house, etc and
build a brand new building onto it from behind... really cool effect...

It's sad to see this piece of Mahoning Valley history go, but I think we all knew that it was too far gone to be salvaged at this point.  I'm glad that the facade will be preserved and I hope that the site will become a successful outdoor venue.  Hopefully in the future, there will be a possibility of a new building incorporating the historic facade being constructed on the site.

At least they are saving the facade, so the Federal St. streetscape won't be further degraded.  And, I'll be interested to see whether it becomes a successful outdoor venue.
