The thing is, there is NO REASON for them to take it down. It's not hurting anybody, it's got a HISTORICAL MARKER in front of it - before it was the Ward Church Furniture company's factory, it was the main building of one of the first women's schools in Texas - I thought that knocking over places like that was illegal anyway? It's in a residential district so it's not like they can put up a business there, and the rest of the street is FULL of houses that are empty, with TO RENT and FOR SALE signs in the yards, so it's not like there's some kind of housing shortage or that street is so popular that they need to put more houses up.
