Care to comment on the L&I zoning permit dated 7/22/21 for full demolition of the bank building at 1952-58 Front Street, after you said this right on your website? "Onion Flats Architecture recognized the importance of maintaining the character of these unique structures, though it was not financially feasible to restore them to their original… historic condition. In an effort to save these landmarks, the structures are being stabilized and the primary architectural details restored in order to treat the buildings as artifacts within which the new program will be inserted."
