from "wanting to demolish it in 1974" to deciding 17 million was too much to spend to save it in 2002 and to see it still standing in 2019 in spite of how she has been neglected pretty much says it all.

I agree, that if it was reasonable to save it they should do so. The city does however have other schools with the same appeal. If they are more stable and that same money could be used to ensure they continue to function for a long time I'd rather the money went there. Norwood and Alex Taylor come to mind as schools with a nearly identical personality.
