A recording company has offered to buy a landmark 130-year-old
church in Buffalo, N.Y., to use as offices.
Scott Fisher, president of Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records,
is on the board of the Preservation Coalition of Erie County. He
lobbied Buffalo officials to prevent demolition of the vacant
Asbury Delaware United Methodist Church when stones started to
fall from the tower in the mid-1990s. Righteous Babe Records
plans to make a $5,000 down payment; a sale price will be
established later.
DiFranco, whose latest album is "To the Teeth," has earned several
Grammy nominations.
