Heidelberg Brewery Demolition Reports
Tonight’s Landmark Preservation Commission meeting includes a demolition review of the Columbia Heidelberg Building. The demolition isn’t directly related to the some-day hotel project, but rather to a dangerous building order from November of last year.
More details should come out after the meeting. In the meantime, check out the follow reports for more details:

It will be sad to not have a water tower in the skyline. So it goes.

Good, that whole area is an eye sore! Build the area around UWT. Make moves Tacoma. Make moves.

Just heresay:
Could be the site of a new Washington State History Museum.

anyone know what happened to this thing?

RR, they have it in a storeroom somewhere. I think there were fears of vandalism and/or theft once the building ceased operations.

so the student prince was like the proto-fratboy? german. makes sense. well, they should just fire the brewery back up and make a x10 IPA for all these grass eaters around here. seems to sell. i’d buy into a crazy prussian fratboy from octoberfestland brand than the beer for players theme wingman is trying to go for. so if i drink the ace ipa with my wingman in a pub (because pubs are where all the hot pinup co-eds gather), it’ll help me get phone number kills to paint on the side of my f-150?

We should bulldoze the entire city.

nice cape

Ha. We should bulldoze 80% of the city. lol. Hilltop, brewery, all of downtown. Most people in Tacoma are overly sentimental in regards to all these old buildings that are terrible looking. Get with the times Tacoma. Who cares about the history of an ugly looking tower, old city hall, and luzon. Time to make new structures to mark our time in history. Make this city something of substance instead of jokes around WA.

just read on Tacoma Index that Landmark Preservation has cleared the way for the demolition

I’d like to see that water tower relocated to the top of the pagoda down at the Chinese Reconciliation Park.
Old Tacoma history is important stuff.

water tower would make an awesome chicken coop
R Rick Jones January 14, 2011
Are chickens permitted in 98402?
R RR Anderson January 14, 2011
yes, but only awesome chickens

It’s too bad the plans for the ethanol plant didn’t work out.

…other than an emotional trigger to get you to buy into a marketing campaign

Is there really no use for this building!? Why would money be spent to create another vacant lot? Or worse, some sort of red cement area! Why can’t we work with what we have and make the city beautiful in a more human way? Let creative people loose on these places, not bulldozers.
R RR Anderson January 19, 2011
if by creative people you mean prostitutes, done!
