| 1002 | Robert P. Smith, AIA | This is one of the finest buildings of its era in the City of Atlanta. The Ga. Tech Foundation should find a way to incorporate this structure into its plans for this site - both from an architectural preservation standpoint and from a sustainability standpoint. Do the right thing - find a way to reuse this important and valuable structure. Robert P. Smith, B. Arch '72 |

| 1007 | Sheila I. Colón | I am saddened but not surprised. This is such a typical Atlanta attitude. GA Tech must preserve this building and set a good example. |
| 1008 | Leeann | I drive buy this buidling everyday, it brings me comfort to see it, beacuse it seems to be one of the last historical buildings in mid-town. The fact that the school itself, which is suppose to be a place promoting vision and creativity, has not proposed any other solution than to just knock it down and leave a vacant lot in it's place, seems absolutely wrong. I hope for all of mid-towns sake that a compromise to preserve and revitilize this structure is put forth by GATech very soon. |
| 1009 | Robert Wicker | I would think that a creative organization such as Georgia Tech could figure out a way to use the building to support it mission rather than tearing it down and building something new. I challenge Tech to be creative! |

| 1011 | Clay Rokicki | This building adds historic and cultural value to both Tech's Campus and Atlanta in general. It should certainly be preserved and adapted. |

| 1014 | Shannon McDonald | Again another living breathing part of the city is being removed - a city no longer can exist as a city if all of its history is removed - that is like removing a persons history - this destroys the person - it all contibutes to the greater whole and a livign vibraqrnt place - the old, the new and the future -- complete destruction of the past creates a void in all of our lives |

| 1016 | J A Remling AIA | Just as any modern structure built today tell our stories, these historic structures tell the stories of our fathers and grandfathers, to simply "erase" them is tragic. |

| 1018 | Robert Bruder | As a long time resident of Atlanta and an architect, I would like to express that this city has too few architectural jewels and this building needs to be saved and integrated into the future. Part of urban fabric is respecting the past, not just bulldozing it.
Thank You,
Robert Bruder,
Architect |

| 1021 | Michael J. Schneider | We have lost too many of our beautiful buildings to the pretext of "progress". Why can't we have progress and at the same time embrace our past. |
| 1022 | Tom Woodward | Atlanta has far too few historic landmarks remaining to show future generations where we were in our time and where they came from. Please show a little creativity for the greater good and save this edifice! |

| 1025 | Ron Ward | The fight to save the Fox was thought to have enlightened the city to the importance of it’s past. That this idea is even being considered seems absurd. Mass ADD? |

| 1028 | John R. Stephenson AIA | As a member to the design team for Tech Square I would not advise the demolition of this important part of the urban fabric. Please consider an adaptive approach to the future re-use of this gracious part of Atlanta's past. |

| 1030 | Paula Vaughan | As a signatory of the American College and University President's Climate Commitment, a member of the US Green Building Council and a proponent of the design and construction of sustainable, LEED Certified buildings, Georgia Tech knows that reusing existing structures and materials is a key strategy for reducing the negative impact of the construction industry on natural resources. It is also a way of demonstrating that architecture isn't disposable, there is no "away" to which materials are thrown and value does not always appear as a line item on a spread sheet. Atlanta should be proud of the leadership our individuals, corporations and institutions have demonstrated in the sustainable design and construction industry. Choosing to save the Crum & Foster building and incorporate it into the new project would demonstrate that the University is dedicated to upholding the sustainable design commitment it inaugurated at Technology Square. |
| 1031 | Michelle Moody | As an alumni of the "School of Architecture", I would hate to think that my alma mater would think so little of the city, its fabric and its character, so as to join the raft of speculators and developers that have done their best to destroy the fabric of the city. How ironic that the college of architecture has sought to add not one but two graduate degree programs, one in urban design and the other in classical design, however neither will have recourse to appropriate precedent in the city that they call home. |
| 1032 | Andrea Franklin | This building adds a special kind of visual beauty to the area. It's architecture softens the harsh lines of the contemporary/modern buildings around it. It needs to stay as an example of the past. |
| 1033 | Anonymous | The city does NOT need another vacant lot - it needs buildings with character, like the Crum + Forster building! |

| 1037 | Faye L. Clark | Too much of Atlanta's history is disappearing. SAVE THIS BUILDING! |
| 1038 | Dave McCauley, AIA | The juxtaposition of the historic Crum & Forster Building with the new buildings of Technology Square helps create the vibrant energy that has come to this area. As the leading architectural school in the state, one would hope that Georgia Tech would be sensitive to preserving the heritage of its immediate community and Altanta in general. |

| 1045 | Mark Edge | I am a new property owner in Midtown of a historic home. I am going to great lengths and expense to SAVE a piece of Atlanta's history. I would urge others to do the same if you have the opportunity. I am very against this building being town down! |
| 1046 | Melody Harclerode | I totally disagree with the Foundation's plans to demolish this building. The Crum & Forster Building stands out for its classical beauty, and it should be preserved. |

| 1050 | Fred T. Pucciano, AIA | Has anyone suggested that the Georgia Tech Foundation sponsor a competition to present appropriate use of the site(s) which saves and re-uses adaptively this very unique Atlanta landmark ?
There should be enough Architects , Contractors ( and even developers ) with ties to Georgia Tech who would like to see this significant piece of Architecture saved that would invest time and/or money in the competition process. |
