  1. Though compromise is needed, there is likely a way to do both. In San Diego, the downtown Fox Movie Theater (built in 1929) was in a similar predicament, and in 1984 was sold to the Symphony. The facade, lobby, and theater space (I saw the original Jungle Book movie there when I was a little kid) were preserved and restored, the underground parking garage upgraded and expanded, and the upper floors turned into office space, while maintaining the Art Deco style. In another part of downtown, a lone Victorian house stands across a parking lot from 1930s warehouses which are now restaurants, bars, and retail space. The beautifully painted Victorian has housed a law firm for over 30 years. Thanks for bringing these issues to light, Ken. That house has very special features, and I'd love to see the interior.
