People, you must understand. The plan here is to preserve the facade and build a new building behind it that takes advantage of the irreplaceable architecture. While I'd much rather have seen the entire building preserved, there are times when the structure is unsound. I applaud the building owner for taking on the expense of stabilizing the facade so that the rest of the building pull it down and it could live on. While it may take awhile, I am certain that once the project is fully realized, we will be thankful that it wasn't "knocked down" completely. -WVJason [Facadomy]
