For the last two years, the Quinlan Visual Arts Center has tried to give away an aging house on its property in Gainesville. Without a suitable new home for the historic building, the center sought the Gainesville Historic Preservation Commission’s approval for demolition. The commission voted 3-2 to approve the demolition of the structure, known as the Moon-Apperson House, with a few stipulations at a public hearing on Monday night.
