Subject: Marriott
Proposal -
Hello
Bob,
I had
read about the Marriott Hotel proposal and while supporting the development
itself, I do have strong concerns about the location and the proposed removal of
historic properties.
I am
not sure if my opinion counts in the grand scheme of things, but if the project
eventually moves forward, the preservation of fa�ades should be the minimum
acceptable option. The preservation and restoration of historic structures and
street fronts is critical in cities such as ours. If the interiors of the
buildings do not offer any significant value, then they can be removed; but, the
fa�ade should not be removed. There are plenty of new projects throughout the
world which have preserved the street presence of existing buildings. Even a
mediocre brick fa�ade is more interesting and vibrant than plain
glazing.
Thank
you for your time,
Marcin Selm
