In 2011;the new occupants of the bathhouse portion (H2O Spa) along with community leaders created a non-profit (Livingston Theater Association) to raise money to restore and preserve the building. Several fund raisers were held; the last of which was in November 2012. Unfortunately; the new owner of the building pocketed all of the revenue from the events and left the organization with all of the debts. The owner is on trial for unrelated criminal activity and the building is currently in foreclosure by the Franklin County Treasurer for unpaid taxes. Unfortunately, the deteriorating condition of the building will only certainly assure that the building is condemned and torn down. H2O moved due to a roof collapse and severe water damage in the building after City engineers deemed it unsafe.
