The building was purchased by property developer Henry D. Vara who planned a $30-million renovation project that would have included affordable housing, stores, offices, a restaurant and a tavern. However, when the state's budget crisis ended funding for the tax credit program, the plans became unfeasible. The building was demolished in 2013 and the site is still unoccupied.
