Wholesale condemnation of city property in the fire district has been the order today by Chief Bryan of the fire department and a representative of the insurance commissioners office from Raleigh.
All of the building condemned were considered unsafe and great hazards, and the condemnation proceedings are meeting with unusual approval with the people of this city. The following buildings have been condemned and red tags placed upon the property:
Two buildings on Craven Street owned by Owen G. Dunn, next to his large printing establishment.
One frame building on the south side of Mr. Dunn’s office owned by George Henderson.
One building at the rear of the house that is located next to the New Bern Motor Company.
One old building back of Coplon’s store.
Both Chinese laundries on Middle Street owned by Aldermen Bangert and Kafer.
Horse shoe shop on Broad Street.
The houses on Craven Street owned by the Frank Hill estate.
The small shack on South Front Street at the approach of the Trent River bridge, occupied by “Aunt Sarah.”
The Langren Lunch Room and Meat Market at 115 Haddock Street, which adjoins the café.
Three houses on Queen Street near the Union Station.
The owners of these buildings and others that have not been listed with the paper are to be torn down in 60 days.
