Public concern deepened at the January 13 Oxford Commissioners meeting as town officials laid out the circumstances that led to the condemnation of the Robert Morris Inn at 314 North Morris Street, and residents warned that delays could result in permanent damage to one of Oxford’s most historic buildings. According to the Talbot Spy, Town Manager Holly Wahl, in her report to the council (video highlight), said the town had been tracking worsening conditions at the property for months after repeated property maintenance notices went unanswered. A town inspection found significant deterioration, including ceiling damage from ongoing water intrusion, pooled water on interior floors, visible staining, and peeling ceiling materials. No corrective action was taken by the property owner.
