2010-08-14 18:58:00 The school has such history, and the buildings in question represent where the school has come from. Children would get a sense of history and pride in their school if they're taught to appreciate these buildings. Gordon Brock Bridgman was my great grandfather! I never met him, my mother did. But he was an interesting man from what I can tell. He actually went on to become an architect. So this whole architectural debate is quite ironic. I wonder what he would have done? (He designed the Palace in Sudan apparently and the bank too if I'm not mistaken). We have a photo or 2 of him if the school is ever interested.
