Ellicott District Demolitions - the bulldozer's new(est) map

On Monday evening, during a recent district stakeholders meeting at the Pratt Willert Community Center, Ellicott District Council Member Darius Pridgen provided this list of 68 properties that are slated for demolition.
Here's that list mapped.
There are three significant buildings that appear on this list.  Sacred Heart Church at 198 Emslie Street, Public School #75 at 57 Howard Street and the City's oldest synagogue which was designated as a local landmark (by the City's Preservation Board in 1997) at 407 Jefferson Avenue.

555 Seventh Street - classic Victorian Stick and it is on the demolition list.

Trying to get Habitat for Humanity interested but I would rather see the place restored not retrofitted for the 21st century.

What's the story with 266 Hudson Street? It looks completely intact and well-maintained on an intact street and even looked occupied, and is architectural significant to boot.

Why all the demolitions on the lower west side all of a sudden? They are happening so fast. :(

266 Hudson doesn't seem right at all. It appears to be occupied and is not in falling down crack house condition.

The property on Virginia is, I think, an old movie theater, but it has been vacant for at least a decade and is in a very advanced state of disrepair.
