Due to a data entry research error, we mistakenly identified Oliver Kuttner as owner of one of the condos in Lewis & Clark Square in last week’s cover story [“Walls of shame,” September 30, 2008]. As Kuttner explained to us, at one time he was a “quarter-owner of the whole building,” but at present he no longer owns one square inch of it. We like it neither better or worse for this fact, but we appreciate Kuttner letting us know and regret the mistake.
