A mediation hearing is scheduled for February 15 in the lawsuit brought by a bank against the owner of an historic 1780 home on God’s Acre. The antique, Greek Revival-style home at 4 Main St. is being foreclosed upon, has been vacant for at least two years, officials say, and is deteriorating. The Bank of New York Mellon filed a civil lawsuit in July 2012, naming the home’s owner as a defendant. According to the lawsuit’s complaint, the owner had taken out a note for a loan in May 2007 in the amount of $2,280,000, and the mortgage on the property was assigned in October 2011 to The Bank of New York Mellon.
