The Irish Hills Towers in Michigan are one step closer to reopening as a tourist attraction and museum after several years of restoration work.
Cambridge Township trustees are expected to approve taking the 93-year-old former tourist attraction off their dangerous buildings list when they meet Nov. 8. The decision would end years of deadlines, meetings, progress reports and work between the township and the Irish Hills Historical Society to save the U.S. 12 landmark.
The township condemned the towers in 2013. Restoration work that finished this fall included replacing exterior windows and installing sheet metal siding. Once the rooftops are inspected and approved, the towers will be eligible for removal from the dangerous buildings list. The society's goal is to have the property fully restored by 2024.
