New architecture lacks character and tearing down old architecture is bad for the environment. No matter how well it’s done. Do better. Stop making poor choices for younger generations. Find an alternative. History must be preserved.

KEEP ST PAUL OLD. Keep it boring. We are not Minneapolis. Stop.

But instead of maintaining an historic structure of culture and past, the school owner will award a large building contract likely to some pal of theirs and make room for a new building. I think about the people in the past, like when this old church was built brick by brick. I imagine that if they really needed a brand new building, then they would have left this structure and found a different empty spot or ruined spot for their new building, i think it’s pretty sad if it really gets demolished. To me it shows deep disrespect for the past and a self centered view point on the part of builders, bidders and admin.

There are far better,more intelligent and creative options for expanding the charter school, then "disappearing" and destroying this beautiful historic landmark. It is time to for the city council to collectively stop and reflect on the values they want to uphold; which should include preserving significant cultural landmarks that maintain the history and cultural identity of the city.
Particularly such an iconic and irreplaceable landmark that Saint Andrews church represents. There have already been too many valuable landmarks lost, due to the city selling out to for-profit interests and disregarding the sacred trust of protecting and maintaining key features of a community's cultural identity. Please stand-up and vote "NO' on destroying this beautiful, iconic and irreplaceable church!
Thank you,

It is heartbreaking to observe the way historical buildings of priceless heritage value are commonly treated in Minnesota. Estonia and Europe appreciate the past and work to keep ita architectural memory intact for future generations - not just in books and museums, but in a visible and tactile way, even with new uses that differ from their original purposes. Do not make the irrevocable mistake of tearing this down!

I am the historian at Maternity of Mary church and am writing a parish history that includes St. Andrew's. The National Eucharistic Congress proceeded from St. Andrew's to the State Fairgrounds in the 1950's. While this may not mean much to non-Catholics, no one can deny that the 50's were a much better time, when people had morals, served in their community, and were unashamed to worship. Please don't tear it down!

The German Immersion School has a proven track record of over-enrollment. I'm sure that once the ruin the neighborhood with an ugly eyesore of a gym, they will continue to enroll past their capacity and be in the same place they are today. A cheaper solution is for them to set limits on their enrollment and stick to it.
