He added that it would cost $6 million to take down the old Cass Technical High.
Please don't tell me that this is the trend, and that we'll soon see old Cass Tech disappear. So the city closes these schools, leaves tons of equipment and supplies behind, allows them to get vandalized and pillaged, then decides a year later that they're beyond repair and need to be demoed. Disgusting. I have been shocked at the number of school supplies left in these buildings. Obviously nothing has changed since the Roosevelt Warehouse burned over twenty years ago. How is this possible?

I thought it was understood that the old Cass Tech is a historically significant building, and that it should be preserved for future use as offices or lofts. Does anyone have any background or insider info on the fate of the building? If it goes, we would lose yet another great architectural gem in this city. The failure of this city to recognize its assets is stunning beyond all measure.
