Six buildings that have been left in a neglect for years with roof problems that caused the buildings to deteriorate began the process of being demolished, beginning at the end of last week in the 300 block of North Main Street. The Delphian Social Club was able purchase the buildings thanks to donations from the community.

In downtown Delphos, there are a few buildings on the west side of Main Street that have sat vacant for several years. They're located right next to a structure that was demolished by the Allen County Land Bank back in 2018. After citizens and city council members alike raised their concerns, the city decided to have those buildings looked at. Shane Coleman, Safety Service Director for the City of Delphos, says that they've brought in two different specialists to take a look inside the buildings to figure out what may be the future for the downtown area.
