I also like that the Old church there has a nice veiw. also it allows for the oldest sidewalk in Mobile (early 1800s) to be seen and the oldest street light in Mobile to be seen. I do like the building for a different place. I think it needs to be a more Creole or colonial looking building. not floridaish.

Mobile should not stop progress to save any of these things you mentioned, which nobody (less than a couple % of the city) give a damn about.
I agree with you about building style, it does need more "Mobile" in it, or if they are just completely against that then do something modern (though that is less preferable than traditional southern coastal architecture.
Personally I think the fountain is a good idea. It is a place of congregation during the summer and would actually serve the area as a "more used" public space than a park. Though I believe the current design of the fountain is not great.
