I can see what your saying but Ive been involved in a restoration of a house that was quite old and they are truly worth saving if its possible. The house we renovated was supposedly built in 1860; however, once we got into the project it was discovered much of the house was from 1793 and it was made of wood from boats floated down the Mississippi. It was actually one of the main slave houses for the Saulet plantation. Anyway, the point is this city should do what it can to preserve the past and allow for the future growth that is required. It looks like we are able to accomplish both here and that is an amazing thing.
