1051 Paul Muldawer FAIAA great institution leads by example. The Georgia Tech Foundation has the opportunity to set an example for the city and its student body in preserving a valuable historic asset. We cannot buy history.

1055 Terry L BelknapI would like to see the Foundation follow the school's pursuits in historic preservation, architecture and sustainable design by demonstrating solutions that can showcase this landmark as the gem that it is. I have not seen the final solution. However, it does not make any sense to remove a landmark structure to make way for a wider sidewalk and a high maintenance, water intensive patch of grass (esp. during a drought). I am sure there are at least a dozen alternative solutions that could integrate the structure into the design. Perhaps the Foundation should ask the Georgia Tech architecture students for some ideas. I am sure they would enjoy contributing to the campus environment.
1056 Antaiwan D. WilsonPlease keep this building to renovate it, as such we can put it to better use!!
1057 Douglas FleemanI was born in georgia and have been in Architecture and building in Georgia since 1973. my father built many of the original dormitories at Emory right after WW2. Atlanta has lost too many of her historically significant buildings, starting with Sherman burning the city in 1864.

1061 Mark A WilliamsWe don't need more vacant lots in the city. What little historical architetural presence left in Atlanta should be treasured. If there are no immediate plans for developing or even if there are plans, this strutured should be saved for future generations to enjoy Atlanta's rich history. Just look at the monstrocity that is Peachtree Center. Cold, bland filler buildings that are as unpleasant in which to work in as they is to view.

1070 Michael ReidSo many in Atlanta want to build historisist buildings. Why don't we try and save an actual historic building for a change.
1071 January Hodgson
1072 steve chiarielloThere must be a way to develop this land so as to complement this impressive structure.

1075 John Moorespretty soon all the buildings with any architectural integrity are going to be gone and we will have a developer driven city...look at how many people travel to Las Vegas...Atlanta will have no sense of place-pretty soon we will lose the Downtown Library and the Buckhead Library, arguably the two most important architectural works in the city, and Atlantic Station will be the architectural and cultural highlight of the city-I just can't wait.Walmart and West Elm-awesome.
1076 David D. Emory MCRP '04As a graduate of the City and Regional Planning program, I am astounded that Tech would even think about demolishing this landmark building, especially considering that its design is the work of Georgia Tech graduates, one of whom was instrumental to the establishment of the College of Architecture 100 years ago this year. The demolition of the Crum & Forster Building would be not only a terrible loss for the Midtown neighborhood, but also a major embarrassment for the Institute and the College of Architecture in particular.
1077 AnonymousAtlanta needs to take more pride in their history and save these historic buildings.
1078 Amy
1079 Carlos Perez-RubioPlease save this Building. It's been far too neglected for far too long, and yet, its potential to be a grand part of the new midtown is far greater tham most other buildings standing, and def much grander than anything being built today.
1080 FarrahSave the building!
1081 Paula HansonI am confident that the brilliant Architecture minds of Georgia Tech can develop a desing to incorporate this historic and asthetically beautiful building into the modern proposed expansions. This is my hope.
1082 FarrahSave the building!
1083 Alix Wilcox NadiAs a graduate of the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech and a practitioner of urban design in Atlanta for over 5 years, it embarrasses me that this issue has even arisen. While I am a supporter of improving Atlanta's streetscapes & pedestrian environment, what could possibly be gained by the additional 18" of streetscape improvements which is not exponentially lost by eliminating such an important and beautiful building that helps give Midtown's fabric its unique charm? Please, do not do this!

1086 Rick B. Sellers AIAAs a modernist, this building needs to be saved. Georgia Tech should lead by example.
1087 Maurice Walters, AIAI urge you to consider alternatives that would allow this fine building to continue to exist. This is an example of the type of historic fabric that Atlanta needs to preserve. In many other cities architects have shown ways to preserve existing historical treasures while adding modern facilities. As a graduate of the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech, I would hope the Georgia Tech Foundation would set an example of leadership in preservation and thoughtful and sustainable design.
1088 Rod WoodardThe old architecture should be preserved for future generations.
1089 Chris JarrettSave this landmark! Exquisite building. Surely GTF can work with and around this historic gem.
1090 Jason WingDo we really need more grass? How about some more creative greenspace that doesn't require us to demolish the historic structures that contribute to Atlanta's architectural character.
1091 Charles HeydtGA Tech, Arch 91
1092 Theresa C. Ridley, AIABuildings of this architectural and historic character are rare and should be cherished. Please save the "Crum & Forster Building".

1096 Philip Monk, AIAAs a graduate of Georgia Tech (BArch 73), a practicing architect in the City of Atlanta for over 35 years, and a contributor to the Georgia Tech Foundation's Annual Roll Call, I would urge the Foundatation to reconsider their position and preserve this beautiful building.
1097 Mary Jane Sasnett
1098 Weston J. WaughThis building helps make the whole Tech Sqare area more interesting and building was designed by your early graduates. Listen to your own institution, GA Tech wants to save the building!
