Does anyone have a link to photos that show the Italianate building in its former glory? To me, and presumably to other people, it's hard to understand why that building at 40th and Pine is worth saving. I'm certainly not opposed to historic preservation and I'm sure the building has some merit I can't see in its current state. But looking at it as it is today, and especially considering its awful history, it's hard for me to grasp why it should be saved, especially when saving it apparently means having to take on the additional burden of a hotel at that site. I do understand that legally the building can't be torn down, due to its historic status. --Matthew ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
