  • Easement Down the Road
    10 Cite Fall 1983 ment Down the Road Good News for Preservation^ Joel Warren Barna for county offices. The Pillot Building was allowed to stand also, but the tactics of the preservationists left County Judge Jon Lindsay, the Chamber of Com- - : merce, and several Harris County commissioners 3 thoroughly angered. "We tried working with [preservationists], but they didn't deliver on the money or the help they promised to fix up the Pillot Building," Lindsay charged in an ff interview in 1982. "I can't wail until it falls down." Even though the county commissioners were explor- - ing suggestions for renovating the Pillot Building for 8 badly needed county law library, Harris County did not (according to preservationists) maintain the build- ng properly. Lindsay got his wish earlier this year, when, after what one critic calls "10 years of accumu- lated county neglect," one of the Pillot Building's walls began to collapse. "At this point, for whatever reason, the county de- cided to dispose of the problem once and for all. and After almost 20 years of frustrating rear-guard battles set about to demolish the building." says Shannon against ever stronger development pressures, Hous- Vale, a lawyer with a major downtown law firm, who ton's harried historic preservationists find themselves worked with the Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants in an unaccustomed position: They have recently won for the Arts, the Greater Houston Preservation Alli- two major victories. In the afterglow, preservationists ance, and other groups to save the Pillot Building yet are uniting to plan strategy for what may be their again.
