I suspect there'll be nary a word from them. They didn't seem really committed to historic preservation as a general principle, just this codebreakers thing.<BR/><BR/>I was supportive until I was flamed by one of the Building 26 "Codebreaker" activists at the DDN website for suggesting this building was "water under the bridge"<BR/><BR/>Pissed me off.<BR/><BR/>Yet, the big deal here was the "process". <BR/><BR/>This was probably a keeper building as it was one of the few that survived the NCR shut-down and demolition. <BR/><BR/>They could have done a renvoation and kept the modern wrap-around as that was just a big open-bay spec office building, and did some interior restoration of the old part. <BR/><BR/>And I know that UDs facilities chief knew this was possible as he was famliar with similar renovations at Wright-Patterson; the unit he worked for did this kind of renovation, with even older buildings.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-59203295687110419302008-01-14T23:16:00.000-05:002008-01-14T23:16:00.000-05:00You know, I just can't get excited about this issu...You know, I just can't get excited about this issue. I know it's an important building, but its ugly and lacks any historic character. I can't help but think that there are much bigger, more important buildings in this city to save.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
