Re: Rogers Hall 49 Round Hill Rd.
Dear Mr. Hebert and Mr. Siddall,
The survey of Rogers Hall on September 8 2016 concluded that Rogers Hall presents serious risk to
public safety and cannot remain in its current state. I have included a copy of that survey.
I have received a report from your architect stating that the building cannot be made weather tight
and therefore cannot be made structurally stable. I agree with the architect’s conclusion.
I am ordering that the building be demolished as soon as possible in accordance with my order
dated August 24 2016. A copy of that order is also included.
You may appeal this order in accordance with M.G.L. 139 section 2.
Respectfully
Louis Hasbrouck
Building Commissioner
