<b>Building, storefront on Carteret Street an eyesore to visitors and residents alike</b>

I have lived in Beaufort for 12 years and cannot believe the von Harten building on Carteret Street has been allowed to stand in such a horrible state this long.  All the other businesses do their best to dress up their storefronts, but this building is allowed to stand with peeling paint and nasty paper covering the windows.  How can the city allow this to be a welcoming sight to visitors and residents alike?  It is an eyesore that should be addressed.
