Support the historic designation of Hoffman School and Field!
Background:
Cincinnati Preservation Association has applied to designate the Hoffman building and grounds as a historic landmark, which would prevent developers from demolishing the structure. Completed in 1922 and designed by the renowned Hannaford and Sons (whose other local works include Cincinnati Music Hall and City Hall), this Evanston architectural treasure exemplifies the Progressive Era schools that increased investment in public education and in the surrounding community.
We only have one chance to preserve buildings like this--once they're gone, they're gone forever. A developer already plans to buy the property in order to demolish the school and build over 300 modern apartments and two large parking lots on the grounds. We can prevent demolition. Act now to support the historic designation of the Hoffman School, an Evanston community and greater Cincinnati architectural gem!

I was looking at the old blueprints for Hoffman today and honestly feeling pretty overwhelmed by how many people actually care about this place. It is wild to think about Hannaford and Sons designing this building back when while I am just sitting here typing this on my phone (my coffee is already cold by the way) but the momentum feels real now.

Keep history alive in Evanston. We got enough ugly apartments going up everywhere else as it is.
Save the school! My grandma went there. Stop letting developers tear down everything that actually has character.
Ridiculous that they want to level a Hannaford building. People need to wake up.
That building is beautiful. Why ruin a historic site for some cheap condos that nobody even asked for?
Please save this place. It is a part of our neighborhood history.

NO MORE APARTMENTS. The traffic on Durrell is already a mess. Stop the wrecking balls.
