The Agenda

All of Downtown is in a protected National Historic District. Should buildings like the Fogarty be protected?
I am not so concerned about the replacement of buildings that do not give a sense of community, or address the street, or provide what I think is a positive direction for urban development. The Fogarty Building has a raised profile that separates it from traffic on the street level. If a new building could address the issues of scale, texture, and how it responds to the buildings around it, then I think it would be appropriate to get rid of.
