So you ask, why save an old building? When I look at historic architecture, I see the authentic craftsmanship, the beautiful façades, the character, culture and charm from days gone by. I imagine the stories of the people who lived and worked there. I feel the creative energy within the walls. I believe each and every old building has a soul and she deserves to be saved. Once an old building is destroyed, she is lost forever.
