It is so haunting. I could easily get misty-eyed thinking this place could be gone soon. And for what? Condos? Apartments?

TWUG, I AM NOT HAPPY TO SAY THAT CONDOS OR APARTMENTS WOULD BE BETTER THAN DEMOLITION.

I'd rather see it left the way it is, let nature re-claim it!!

totally agreeable to the no demolition of old buildings comment. i love old buildings and it is a shame to see them destroyed for things such as condos and malls! ugh

Let's hold on to some of our historic past. Future generations need to see with their eyes,not look in pages of a book. This is a remarkable piece of history we need to hold on to.

It does look like the building is listening. It look like it's straining to hear.
