Papachristou’s Wallbank house in the news

There is a story about the Wallbank House in today’s Denver Post, with an article about how the landmark preservation ordinance is somehow being misused to attempt to preserve historical landmarks (a Papachristou house, no less!).

Comments like “real-estate terrorism” sound ripped right of Fox News or the old days of the Weekly World News. It is silly, considering this had to be one of the most civil discourses over architectural preservation. It’s especially sad that the Denver Post did not consider this story newsworthy until after the official demolition date is announced (Jan 15th). Goodbye Wallbank House, we will miss you!

The first thing that people do when they run from a burning house is to grab the family photos. This architecture is our family photos. It’s how we understand who we are. This is a beautiful structure and ironically would be an economic asset to the community as well. Unfortunately people understand too late and wistfully regret these pieces of history after it is too late.
