From Alabama-Mayor Ian Sanford said he and the City Council need answers about the future of the old Grace Episcopal Church building across from City Hall.
The historic 110-year-old building that was added to the Alabama Historical Commission's list of Places in Peril earlier this year has been posted as an unsafe structure by the Sheffield Building Department.
City Code Enforcement Officer Charlie Grimmitt said the building was posted because of its condition.
The building's north wall has been leaning toward the residence next door for years and the wall facing Montgomery Avenue is also leaning, Grimmitt said.
The mayor said the structure is not exempt from any city ordinances because of its age or status as a historic structure.
Sanford said members of the Colbert County Historic Landmarks Foundation are expected to attend Monday's council meeting and provide an update on their progress in raising money to restore the building.
