A deal that would have transferred ownership of the historic building at 19 Frederick Street to a local businessman, has fallen through. There have been several failed requests for proposals for the structure that has been sitting vacant for 13 years. The last occupant was Allegany County HRDC, but they have since relocated to Virginia Avenue. One of the drawbacks is the work needed on the roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire suppression systems and elevator service.
