Well, the Spec story is now back to stating erroneously that the developer is going to preserve the front third:

"But Wednesday, the subcommittee learned the developer feels he can preserve only the front-third of the building, including the iconic stone entrance and tower. "

There is a big difference between demolishing 80% (as the developer is proposing) and 67% as the article states. Why can't they get this basic fact right?

The owners should be told to heat and stabilize the building until they have a re-development plan in place. At which time the request to demolish 80% of this heritage building can be properly assessed. I would also like to see an independent study by structural engineers who have experience with heritage stone buildings ... Quinn Dressel do not describe any heritage work on their website http://www.quinndressel.com/ and seem to specialize in large office buildings and other modern construction: "Specializing in high-rise commercial construction, healthcare, institutional and building science projects."
