Demolition proceeds on
former La Bu La building
JARED ANDERSON/SIUSLAW NEWS
D
emolition has begun on the former La Bu La Restaurant on Highway 101 in Florence after a fire destroyed the
building in March. According to Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue Fire Prevention Captain Tony Miller, “With a joint
investigation between Siuslaw Valley, the Deputy State Fire Marshall and Oregon State Police, the fire was officially
titled ’undetermined cause.’” The City of Florence executed City Code Title 4 Chapter 5: “Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings” procedures this summer to encourage the property owners to begin removal of the building’s charred
remains. “That process allowed the Building Official to set a timeline that the property owner needed to abide by to
dispose of the remaining building per the Building Code, which included the asbestos abatement that they needed
to perform before demolition,” said City Project Manager Megan Messmer.
