SARATOGA SPRINGS – The dilapidated but historic house at 65 Phila St. a near-wreck threatened with demolition as recently as March has been purchased by the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, which plans to make the structural and cosmetic repairs needed to make the building saleable, officials announced Thursday.
