Summary
The Preservation Association of Beaver Island offered salvaged tin-ceiling panels from the historic McCann Building, also known as the Dockside Market, for preservation-minded reuse in late 2005. The proposed December 3 public sale was cancelled after all pieces were pre-sold.
Evidence limits
The forum notice documents the offer and reported pre-sale outcome, but not the building’s complete construction history, the number of panels, the buyers, or where the material was ultimately installed.
