West's salvaging the 100-year old pine from which the Marlow store was built to turn it into, mostly, high-end flooring, although the building's structural beams probably won't be recut and milled. West said he's already pulled a lot of wood out of the building but some of the hand-hewn wood stacked on the site right now came from an earlier job in St. Charles. "They're both going the same place," he said.
In the pic: Wood Recycler Elmer West said pulling down Huntley's Marlowe Feed store Saturday would be tricky since the building's heavy overhang would tend to torque the structure when his crew cuts a way attachments.

About time that old eyesore comes down. They just need to bulldoze the rest of Huntley around it on rt47 and start over. Maybe this time with some thought. I think they can fit more utlity poles in now.
Huntley "an ugly ass place to live"
If you have any notion of a new township hall to replace the existing log cabin, talk to Linda Moore and her 40 BFFs. They have hijacked the township from the taxpayers. She spends most of her taxpayer-paid time driving up and down Rt 47 to the county courthouse.
It sure was an eyesore but the sign of the times.
