Coeur d'Alene council moves to protect history

Approves 182-day moratorium on demolition, work on historic buildings

The moratorium has been a goal of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, particularly since the recent demolition of the E. Lakeshore Drive 1925 home of the late Dr. E.R.W. "Ted" Fox and the historic Roosevelt Inn possibly facing the same fate with a developer offering to buy the property.
