You won’t believe this.
I was doing a little trolling on the San Antonio HDRC agenda for Wednesday’s meeting and I found something that truly shocked me.
The white-plastic-clad eyesore of a building that has been a vacant, graffiti-covered, drug-infested death-hole is being protected by the HDRC as historic.
Yup, someone applied to demolish it (to build something usable, we can only assume) and the HDRC is recommending a DENIAL of that application on historic grounds. Apparently, one of the clauses allows a building to be deemed historic if important people worked in it at some point. What!?!?!
I am so bothered by this, I can’t even explain it…
