At least it is a respectable looking building, well worth restoring. My 
GGFather & his younger brother emigrated from Ireland to 
Kingwilliamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa in the late 1800's. The 
brother became the proprietor of the Masonic Hotel which still stands 
today but it now looks like a sleazy dump with the current owner making 
a living from the off-sales. No chance of being declared a National 
Monument! This image is from Google Earth:

Hope they add it into the curb appeal but if local trends dictate it will
not

Nikon D7200, 18-70 zoom.
