Hi,
I'm sure you'll be finding it difficult to absorb all the above information, so let me explain why I removed those paragraphs.
The main reason is that they are off-topic. The article is supposed to be about James Hormel personally, not a building in which he no longer even lives. Such detailed information would only belong in Wikipedia if the building had some kind of enduring notablility, which you could show by providing appropriate citations. Even passing coverage in the news is not really sufficient (see WP:NOTNEWSPAPER).
Also, this style of writing is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. You used subjective terms such as "unfortunately" and "surprisingly", and expressed opinions such as "new laws are needed" and "Mr. Hormel will be greatly missed". These all indicate non-neutral points of view which should be attributed to particular sources, not spoken in the detached voice of the encyclopedia itself (see WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV).
If you have any questions, just add them below this message and I'll get back to you.

- I am not even sure how to talk back to you. But i could edit my addition more. This building is a very historic building-with a murder on the grand staircase in the late 70's. This with Mr Hormel's restoration of building kept the building safe-now it is not safe. Maybe i could start a new article to link to Hormel's page.

According to Wikipedia's rules, what matters is whether the building has received significant coverage in reliable sources. See Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline. According to those criteria, I think it's unlikely that the building would have received enough coverage to justify its own article, though it may still deserve a mention in Hormel's article.
The only way to answer these questions is for you to indicate which sources you used for this information. You can do this using the <ref> tag, as described at WP:CITEFOOT.
Also, whenever editing an article, please give a brief summary of what you've done and why, by filling in the small text box above the "Save page" button. This will make it easier to understand the article's History view, which anyone can access using a link at the top of each page. – Smyth\talk 08:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
House
[edit]Dude, you obviously have a thing about this house, but it's totally off-topic on this page. Nobody cares. On top of it, you keep posting potentially irrelevant and inaccurate information. Why point out that his partner is 53 years younger? What's the point? You sound like you're dishing salacious gossip. And you've posted several times that he's left SF, while I know for a fact that he has not. Give it a rest already, do you think he appreciates somebody who knows so little about his life posting editorial on his personal information?
