The current momentum has prompted local preservation boards to request a briefing on our proposal for the site. I am drafting a formal letter to NYC HPD to demand that independent structural inspection. These next steps will define the future of the tower.

Too much history to just bulldoze it. Fix it up and do something useful with the space.
Staten Island needs to preserve the few landmarks we actually have left. Restore the castle.
This place is a part of our history on the island. Sick of seeing all the cool old buildings get torn down for ugly condos.
I grew up right by here. It breaks my heart to see it just sitting there rotting away. Please save it!!
Stop the destruction of our local architecture. New York is losing its soul one brick at a time.

Total waste of a beautiful building. Put it to use instead of letting it fall over.
