A fixture on West Main Street in Mt. Pleasant for more than 130 years is coming down.
The former Wesley United Methodist Church, which became known as the Antique Mall on the 700 block of West Main Street, is being razed, according to its owner, Gene Saloom, a former state legislator and a retired borough funeral director.
“There is no timetable on it,” Saloom said.
Saloom, 86, said, after the bell tower of the church partially collapsed in the spring of 2020, borough officials ordered him to either make improvements or demolish the structure.
“I guess the rain got in there and rotted it out, causing the collapse. It would have cost more to upgrade the building than to tear it down,” Saloom said.
