Nostalgia. I remember going there as a kid to the stamp collector's store to get supplies.

Up until maybe 4-5 years ago, that store was still there.

As a secondary reason, it's a building that was still seeing a lot of active use from groups renting it out. It's not as though it was completely vacant. It had tenants.

I think a lot of it has to do with being a symbol of when the city had a vibrant downtown. You look at old pictures of the Denholm, and you see crowded sidewalks and a bustling area. To see it get torn down and replaced with another bank or something would be a further example of our failures in urban planning
