And I disagree. The building is a fine example of mid-century design and is one of the only remaining iconic pieces from Hemisfair.
Has it been maintained? No, but that isn't a reason for tearing it down. The Pearl's buildings were in worse shape, but they were restored and repurposed. The theatre's structure is sound, the design is good, and the historical significance is high.
