Per Steven Litt, looks like the end may be near after being disassembled and rusting away in a corner of the ore docks for decades. There was a real push in the days after they were dismantled (I remember the sight of the Save The Huletts float at the St Pat's parade) and a real community outcry, but it all seemed to get tied up in bureaucracy and fingerpointing and, finally, disinterest. As much a lesson in how to not follow through with community activism as it is a lesson in delays and procrastination and frustrating bureaucracy. If anything gets salvaged out of all of this, it will be nothing short of a miracle. The Port Authority is, sad to say, probably right about this: it's probably time to just let it go.
It's like having a rusted-out '55 Chevy on your property that no one has the time or ability or money to fix ("that could be really neat if someone stepped up and fixed it"). As much as you see the potential, after years and years of no one stepping up, you look out your window one rainy day and you decide then and there that you just want the thing out of your damn yard.

These are a part of Cleveland's industrial history... I wish there was a way the WRHS could preserve the Huletts as they have the Euclid Beach merry-go-round, the old Cleveland Indians sign and (I believe) the old "Welcome To Cleveland" mural from inside Union Station, Terminal Tower.... But I'm guessing the Huletts, even one of them, may be too large for WRHS. What do you think?

Even one of the loading buckets outdoors on the museum's front lawn with a sign. Something.
Everyone involved dropped the ball on this one. For years. On all sides.
