| Old Legion building closed. |
700 S. MOBILE STREET
The old American Legion/Pine Needles building at 700 S. Mobile Street has been put on the 'Places in Peril' list by the State Historical Commission, according to commission member Mara Kozelsky-Hunter.
The building was heavily damaged by hurricane Sally in 2020 and fundraising for repair has been unsuccessful so far (about $2 million is needed).
Legion Post 199 is planning to hold a groundbreaking for its new, smaller member's building in back on February 20; efforts to restore the old building will continue as well.
Post property is closed to the public until mid-summer when the new building is expected to be ready to open -- and normal club activities resumed.
