Stony Point Malloy Pharmacy Building
Demolished by Menacing Jaws of
Indifferent Town Bureaucrats
While most towns are spending fortunes to install old fashioned lightposts and flower boxes and return to a semblance of quaintness and charm...the ignorant and indifferent members of the Stony Point Town Board and Supervisor Bill Sherwood ignored citizen requests to reconsider the demolition of the charming and historic Malloy Building that stood as an icon of history and charm on the corner of Route 9W and East Main Street in Stony Point.
The building had active tenants who paid rent. The building provided an income for the Town. But of course, in their infinite ineptitude and ignorance, the Town Board totally ignored suggestions for it to become a community center, a historic museum and gallery, a tourism information center, etc.
No...they needed to make it into a parking lot...or a strip mall...or a park? And they needed to widen the roads for the Gypsum trucks that no longer pass that corner since Gypsum closed its doors. Go figure.
Stony Point is noted for it's deep roots in American History. These mindless bureaucrats have no concept of Town Planning or a clue as to the value of Preservation of those things that make a Town attractive, great, or memorable.
This building could have been used as a magnet for tourists and residents, school children and visitors who could come to learn, see and enjoy learning about Stony Point's rich history.
But no...now people can park their cars...or sit on a bench...and aimlessly watch the cars and trucks go by....while they inhale the dismal fumes of a culturally barren future offered up by the sacrifice of those things that are of true value and beauty by a Town Board that needs to be "dismantled" in the next election cycle.
