Anyone else following the saga over the potential demolition of the 1938 WPA built administration building on the State Fair Grounds?

Apparently the fair people are ready to demolish it, but Mayor Stanton has called for an emergency HPT meeting today to hold off demolition. And police were protecting it from demolition last night. I'm happy such lengths have been taken to save it. Of course, I'm sad yet another historic cool building is slated for demolition in Phoenix (and has generally fallen into disrepair). It's so frustrating.



I've always admired the building for its presence on McDowell and its hidden in plain sight art deco gem aspect.
