Look at that structure. This is one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen. It seems perfectly suited for rehabilitation and is already raised well above any new flood requirements. This building is a model for how new buildings should be built in this area. Demolition of this structure would be a travesty.
It is really sad that UNIQUE cultural facilities are being erased from the landscape. I don't understand the rush to remove this - something this special deserves all consideration possible for re-use. Nothing put in its place will compare to the innovation and vision of the current building. Please reconsider demolition and save this treasure to inspire future generations.
