This building is beautiful! I don't want to see it replaced with a generic modern structure that looks just like everything else.

Columbus is not a generic, anywhere city. We know that. Let’s be sure our visitors and potential incoming businesses see that as well.

Please use common sense and stop chipping away at Columbus' history. I am not sure how you can adopt climate change measures when demolition of this sacred and special building will add TONS OF WASTE to landfills. Please stop the madness!!!

Enough of Developers who's always win over Preservation. It's time to stand up to these greedy people seeking abatements. Property owners have had enough and moreover, schools are already failing to lift children out of poverty because abatements deny schools necessary funds.

Keep this building standing and find a new use for it.

I thought development in Franklinton was all about creativity! What happened to the idea of creating livable spaces and fomenting an urban arts scene? Creating much need public housing around this architectural centerpiece would be creative and forward-thinking. Demolishing the Westside Spiritualist Church is shortsighted and just plain wrong.
