If you have been the following news lately, this marks of the twentieth anniversary Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans.  The City owned a vacant building at the corner of North Roop and Nevada Streets. The structure built in 1895, was converted into apartments in 1941. The City  purchased the property in the early 2000s,  and offered the apartments to refugees from Hurricane Katrina. Those individuals would be the buildings last occupants.

In 2008, the building was placed on the City of Susanville and  Lassen County historic landmark register. The city would spend the next several years as to what to do with the structure. In the spring of 2014, the city had the building demolished.
