OK, not to throw rain on anyone's parade here, but what is the caliber of the existing building stock in the redevelopment area? Not knowing the area really well, and relying on the aerial view in a recent post, it appears that there might be 19th century commercial buildings on site. What are we talking here? Reason -- we are getting ready to review nominations for Ohio's Most Endangered Historic Sites -- and while we have a Cleveland nomination (Cozad-Bates house near University Circle), is this something we should also consider? Don't get me wrong -- I understand that the loss of historic building stock is necessary sometimes to generate economic development to save a larger, more complete set of buildings -- is that what is going on here? Any insights on to what is there now? Thanks!
