I used to work in that building. The only noticeable problem I know of is the elevators; they should've been replaced 20 years ago! I personally don't care what they do with CPT, but I find it interesting that the newly anticipated project, all in all, will cost over $150 million (which supposedly saves money on long-term maintenance.)

(Okay, okay, I would be a little saddened. My dad has and continues to work in that tower. I used to spend days with him at work as a small child. I've seen July 4 fire displays from 20+ stories up. I used to take the elevators, hit random floors, and run around other floors when the building wasn't occupied. Those were good times. )

As for the parking garages, though, they need to consolidate all the garages into a new centralized six-story garage, demolish all the other crumbling garages, and turn them into park/green space (extending Fort Hill Park, River View Park, creating a green ribbon from Ft. Hill to the Old Capitol complex, etc.)

I wouldn't want to be around when the asbestos goes flying when it comes down.

frankfortkid is on a distinguished road
This will be mixed emotions for me if it comes down. I will miss seeing it high above the river going over the bridges. But I agree there doesn't need to be a tall building in Frankfort it sorta sticks out, plus its kinda a eyesore with the top of it painted with a fresh coat of white paint then the rest is all dirty. But if it does get imploded it will make for some good photos!

Are there any photos of this building?

Sad to see a old building come down built during that time frame. They had a different kind of style like you dont see today.

Our courthouses were built in the late 60s and early 70s and still are mostly all original. Neat to see the original floors, ceiling tiles, walls, lights, etc.
