Truly there goes the neighborhood. What a beauty this structure is.

What a shame to break this down for a shopping mall. They have to treasure it.

Such a shame.

Oh, nooooooo. Wish someone would step forward and save them.

Part of the area should be saved as a national monument, to protect its history.

I hope that they can save and move this building because its historic, and a shopping mall is a dime a dozen. While an old building like this is not, they are always sorry after they destroy history like this after the fact! Richard

This is a beautiful old house. In that light it almost looks like a rainbow. Hope they'll be able to save it!

Interesting house with the vines, but somethings are necessary to clean up the 'hood
