Historic Ingersoll - Stanford House May Be Torn Down.

Some people, including Niskayuna Town Supervisor Luke Smith, want to tear down this historic home at the corner of Route 5 and Balltown Road in Niskayuna and replace it with Walgreens and other big box stores.



Supervisor Smith and his supporters want to see these trees cut down and this historic spot covered with blacktop.

At 9:00 a.m. tomorrow (October 14) and at 9:00 a.m. Sunday (October 15), you can watch an interview that Ernie Tetrault did with Linda Champagne about the importance of this home and why it should be preserved.
