I hope this building gets repurposed with respect to its past like the Victor building. As a radio historian and collector, I'm fascinated by the history of the place. I have several vintage Crosley radios and they were a combination of great style and good performance. Very popular with collectors.
I worked in the water tower back in 1992. I was putting small panes of glass in the water tower to keep pigeons out. I believe Hosea of Newport owned it then. Thats who i was working for. At least 1 elevator worked. There was running water still. There was a Crosley car on the 1rst floor in mint condition. There was a business or 2 on the top floors.
When I got on the fire department in 1996, I was assigned to engine 12, first in at this building. We inspected the building a couple of times. Prior to the fire department I had worked for a carpet cleaning company that cleaned the carpets at Pine Croft. I noticed when we inspected the Crosley building that the offices were identical. In 1996, the office was still in good condition as someone was using the building as a storage location for recyclable 2 liter bottles while they waited for the value of the plastic to increase. There were a couple of Crosley automobiles in the building then as well. Thanks for this video.
Are there actually any plans to redevelop this place? In 2014 there was talk of renovating it into apartments. Two years ago there was an article saying it was going to be transformed into an "artists enclave". And at this time last year there was again talk of developing it into apartments.
