affected:
Phillis Wheatley Elementary School, 2300 Dumaine St, New Orleans, LA
Comments: I am strongly opposed to the demolition of this historic structure. The adaptive reuse of this important school would send positive signals to the neighborhood and community as a whole. It could be a vibrant and wonderfully functioning school. Its demolition would be a tremendous loss.
