So here in Tucson, Arizona a historic and very beautiful monastery has been sold. Unfortunately the monastery is not protected from being demolished because it is not registered as a historic place. However some plans that the buyer has is to convert it into a hotel or a spa. Personally while I am not religious myself nor do I have any personal connection to this building, this actually makes me quite uncomfortable for some reason. Seems it would be better to preserve this building to it's originality inside and out. It is only 80 years old, but still it is actually quite remarkable to drive by. We also have San Xavier Del Bac mission here as well which is also astounding. That thankfully is registered on the national registry. As I stated before, while I am not religious nor believe in a God, I do appreciate this architecture. What are your thoughts?
I think it is important to note that they did try to find a religious buyer, but that was a no go for them. Boy, if I was a billionaire or something I would buy buildings like these for a collection of the sort.
