And it was in use until GA Tech bought it, declined to renew the leases, and let it sit vacant for a few months. Now they're trying to say it derrelict. What? Only because GA Tech made it so! The plans for the site? A parking lot! <BR/> <BR/>Isn't GA Tech one of the leaders in urban planning? If they are teaching that replacing beautiful, historic buildings with urban parking lots is good urban design, well... maybe someone should look at their urban planning program.<BR/><BR/>I'm in the real estate development industry, so I understand that sometimes an unsafe or unusable building has to make way for progress, but to demolish this historic, useful structure for a parking lot? In this real estate market, there is absolutely no way to make a case that the need for redeveloping that land outweighs the historic significance of that building.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634332363682665808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471053462722475775.post-49084064390084734432008-05-17T20:40:00.000-07:002008-05-17T20:40:00.000-07:00I took some pictures of the Crum & Foster Building...I took some pictures of the Crum & Foster Building on May 11, 2008, and publshed them here:<BR/>http://surf303.com/crum/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
