Well, it's hard to draw the line between a mere old building, and an old building with huge, relevant history to it. As I've asked before, I don't understand what makes this building in question so special and worth preserving, and I wish someone could make a case for that.
I don't believe preservation is always the answer; sometimes tearing down the old is a needed step to pave way for the new.
