Project Address 19 Washington Street Comments My first concern is that the stone building keeps it's historic significance. I'm not sure I agree with moving it, but if it must be moved...then the new building should be set right where the old building was, as to not obscure Preservation Hall. I think it is unfortunate to just create more and more new buildings rather spontaneously without a long term plan. Why not focus on what makes Saratoga Springs unique...historical architecture! As stated, by the Preservation Foundation, these stone structures are rare. Go ahead and build one today? Not possible, right? 12/10/25, 3:42 PM Inbox - Mark Graham - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkAGIxYTcxODdiLTE4ZmUtNDdlMy05MTNlLTA4ZjY5NTFhMDAzMQAQAJWsET363NNCjn8lxpXpo1A…1/2 And why create yet another blah blah blah anywheresville building to take up space downtown...put it on South Broadway...or Route 50 south or even Wilton!...keep what remains of downtown's historical architecture intact!
