Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - The planned demolition of two old downtown Rochester buildings has run into a possible roadblock - a Red Owl roadblock.
The city is the current owner of the two buildings located on 4th St SE on the west side of the Zumbro River and had hoped to clear the site for future development.
But those plans may be put on hold - perhaps permanently.
The city’s Heritage Preservation Commission has designated the former Legends/Labor Temple property as a potential landmark. The designation is being pursued by Rochester preservationist Kevin Lund, also a district court judge. He is seeking more time to collect the information needed to meet the requirements of a landmark designation, which could protect the buildings from demolition.

There s a lot to take in with this headline. Police say that a New York state man drove a vehicle, that was reported stolen, to court Tuesday morning. Huh? Now, if you thought that this suspect had already made a few poor decisions, well, keep reading. WNYT is reporting that the very same man ended up being found by authorities after they tracked him with the ankle monitoring bracelet he was wearing. Guess he wasn t able to find anyone to offer him a ride that day?
WNYT is saying that there had been a number of car thefts in East Greenbush that were reported Sunday night, and continued through Tuesday morning. Police are saying that the suspect drove one of those stolen vehicles to the Troy City Court. WNYT says that the ankle bracelet was part of the man s release on an unrelated charge. Now, it looks like he s even more trouble.
