The western front of Alamo Plaza. Is no news good news, or just a well-guarded secret?
It has been almost two years since the Alamo issued its request for qualifications to hire a firm to conduct an historical assessment of the significance of the Crockett Block (above, a personal favorite), the Palace Theatre and the Woolworth Building on Alamo Plaza. The RFQ included an evaluation of their appropriateness for reuse as a visitor center and museum for the Alamo.
The historical assessment is easy. These structures are well-documented as part of an historic district included in the National Register of Historic Places.
As for their reuse? That might depend on how the issue is approached. The illustration used on the Alamo website only highlights obstacles.
