I grew up in Storrs and graduated from UConn (class of '81). Old houses like these two remaining ones from a time before mine can be restored and put to good use if there is the political will and financing to do so. Demolishing them would be shortsighted and a travesty.

Storrs is still a beautiful town with character. Please don't destroy what is left of its identity.

I lived on Storrs campus in early 1980s and I'm currently chair of psychology department at small liberal arts university in Iowa. I'm a firm believer in tradition and I think it would be a shame to tear down this historic row of houses.

As an alumnus June 1969 my opinion is that these historic structures should be preserved to help remind us all of the roots of our University. That will not be done by replacing them with a park. Remember: not all change is good!

Slowly, he identity of UConn is being corrupted, demolished. You HAVE to save these buildings. There's so little left!

These buildings add a human dimension to a campus increasingly defined by high buildings with hard angles and no character.

Those houses continue to live in my fond memories of four years spent at UConn (65-69), agree the million dollar repair quotes are irresponsible and must be erroneous. They should be kept and rehabbed.
Thanks for giving a forum for our voices.
