I wonder if the US has similar ‘protection’ laws in place similar to our grading system?

There is, but I don’t believe EVERY building gets full protection.
But at the end of the day, it’s hard to find a use for a 200,000+- sq ft factory.
Besides in this case, it was also very much a “green” issue with clean-up and it has something to do with the river as well. IIRC, something about the local tribe and salmon habitat or something.

I guess there is a bit of a difference in size between a factory producing Beagle Pups and one turning out B-52s :diablo::diablo:

Demolition of old buildings
Much the same thing happened at Shoreham. Newowners wanted to demolish the old double bay hangar and rebuild on the site. However a group got together and had the building grade 2 listed as of significant local interest. The roof is now being fixed, making it available to local aircraft owners for undercover storage. I suspect many people still remember it as it was in its heyday as the factory where FG Miles Ltd and latterly Beagle manufactured light aircraft
