On Astor Row in Harlem, an 1883 house that had been declared a landmark was unceremoniously razed last month. On an island off Miami Beach, residents and city officials were divided over whether to raze Al Capone’s former mansion. The debate in Dayton echoes those that have taken place in other parts of the country, in which preservationists, developers and municipal officials have wrangled over the future of local properties with strong historical ties. “We’ve lost so much heritage, we’ve lost so much history - we should be working to save every possible building,” Monica Snow, the president of Preservation Dayton Inc., said on Sunday. But its potential demolition is pitting some officials, who say the building is dangerous and a nuisance to neighbors, against preservationists, who contend that it holds historical importance and, if redeveloped, could qualify for tax credits. The building, all parties agree, is dilapidated. City officials plan to review developers’ proposals for the space and then decide who should be awarded the property.
