Episode Details

A stone expert with decades of experience is sounding the alarm on a historic Rhode Island landmark known as the Superman Building, warning that its crumbling Indiana limestone facade—held by rusted black iron anchors—is beyond repair. With no cheap fix and potential costs ballooning into the hundreds of millions, he argues demolition is the smarter move. Despite presenting photographic proof to the board, his warnings were ignored as $50 million in taxpayer funds are already pledged for redevelopment. The developer says inspections are routine and construction begins in 2027, but the expert insists the math is clear: pouring more money into a failing structure won’t save it—and could cost even more.
