The former Hunt’s building at 208 and 210 N. Meridian St., Portland, got a temporary reprieve Tuesday as Portland Board of Works held off on awarding a contract for its demolition. The board agreed to give Portland Redevelopment Commission a few weeks to look at the building and potentially develop a plan to keep it in place. The roof is damaged and part of the rear wall has collapsed, leading to the building being declared unsafe in August. (The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney)
