(Estherville)– An Estherville landmark will be coming down.
The Estherville-Lincoln Central school board vote Monday to demolish the former Lincoln School building.
The action was taken after board members learned two people who had previously expressed interest in the building backed out.
In approving the motion to tear down the building, the board directed Superintendent Dick Magnuson to draw up specifications and advertise for bids for the project, estimated a couple of years ago to cost around 95-thousand dollars. Removal of an underground fuel tank at an estimated cost of 25-thousand to 30-thousand dollars would be on top of that.
Tentative plans call for the building to come down this coming summer.
