Please help spare this important work of architecture. It truly is a rare example of South Texan, Mexican/American Brutalism. One of the last great structures of HemisFair ‘68. Let’s not let downtown be a skyline of sports venues and Margarita bars.
It is important to learn about and care for our culture and communities. This is what the ITC has done for me, my family, and many children of San Antonio. I have faith that this is also still a mission of UTSA and hope ITC will be preserved as part of this shared community spirit.
This is more than a historic building. This was a museum sharing the cultures and histories of the various ethnic groups that make up the early history of San Antonio. The common history shared by all of us who live here. A unique experience that will be lost to future generations. It's not always about making more money. Not everyone is a sports fan.
This garden is a hidden treasure. Beyond it’s beauty and history, it is a Christian spiritual landmark for our community., it would be a tragedy that it be taken away.
Historic buildings give a community character and a visible connection to past generations. Rather than looking back and realizing the building could have been saved, why not figure out a way to do that now.
When does progress stop? If we tear everything down in the name of progress doesn’t this stop history? Just how much is UofM Sparrow going to take from the old BTS/Eastern complex? Does this mean the field house, ball diamonds, and football field too? What is going to happen to St. Lawrence hospital, also owned by Sparrow? Yes, I am an alumni from Eastern and have many memories from a very young age. Many of my relatives were graduates from this building and my own father worked in this build long for many years. If other structures from this great State of Michigan can be saved and preserved whey can’t Eastern? Seems to me, the smart choice for a mental hospital would be to use the parking structure next to the main hospital and build a much larger parking lot behind the main hospital where Eastern’s previous football field was before Sparrow forced that to close on the 60’s.
I live in this neighborhood and walk by old Eastern. It is part of the character of the neighborhood. In no way does wanting to save it indicate that someone is unconcerned with mental health, and that's a fallacious assertion that keeps going around. The only way it would be valid, is if that were the ONLY possible place to put a mental health facility.
I care about this issue because I grew up in Lansing Michigan and my older brothers all went to Eastern High school and so did my son and me. I have never felt good in a school like I did in Eastern High school.
