Having it located somewhere else would not be "historic". Either recreate it in the original location, or forget it and use the money for other worthy causes. "Society babes" trying to do something that they don't understand, or embrace! If they can't place an exact replica in the original location, then what's the point?

And "exactly" means "exactly," with all of the original details intact. If it comes off as a cheap copy like so many "olde fashioned" light standards crafted of fiberglass that we have all over this town, then no way--it should be completely contemporary.<br /><br />However, I'd really prefer to see this project postponed several years, and the money this party raises be devoted to alleviating the budget woes of our various arts organizations. Ah, but that would not be how we do things in Denver. Who cares if libraries have to reduce their hours? Who cares if the art museum has layoffs? Who cares if the DCTC has to forego challenging plays in favor of things that will just fill the seats? No, let's build this folly, and keep the Central Library closed on Sundays (which change will be taking effect soon).
