Halt the Proposed Demolition of the Historic Gresham Building at The Galloway School

The Issue

The Gresham building at The Galloway School is under threat due to a proposed demolition plan brought forth by the current school leadership. This historic structure has been a part of our community for decades, serving as an educational institution and a symbol of our shared heritage. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2014. It's not just about bricks and mortar; it's about preserving the legacy that this building represents.

The Gresham building is unique with its architectural significance, contributing to the aesthetic value of our community. Its demolition would mean losing an irreplaceable piece of our local history. Moreover, repurposing old buildings is often more sustainable than demolishing them and constructing new ones, contributing to environmental conservation efforts (source: National Trust for Historic Preservation).

We urge those in power to reconsider this decision and explore alternative solutions that preserve the integrity of the Gresham building while still addressing any potential issues or needs for modernization.

Please join us in at SaveHistoricGalloway in voicing your opposition against this proposed demolition by signing this petition today. Let's stand together in preserving our history, culture, and environment.
