A pair from Clayton are the prospective owners of the long-decaying Masonic Temple in downtown Watertown, but the two says they expect to restore the building to its former grandeur. I am not sure when that grandeur was, but I know the building as it sits is a money pit.
I certainly admire people who want a challenge, but this is going to take a lot of private money as the public funds are committed elsewhere.
If these two take title, they should do so knowing the scope. Others who have talked about "saving" the building have not presented a plausible plan. Ears are open to hear from the latest group.
