What hypocrisy to require Christ Church to save an ugly old house and allow the architecturally beautiful Pendleton Baptist to be torn down.

Greenville is becoming filled with thousands of ugly concrete box apartments that have no architectural merit or beauty, only an increased tax base for the city.They look like the Soviet-era structures of the old Austrian Empire cities of the old Yugoslavia, Slovenia and Croatia.

We could lose one old, ugly house but we don't need any more concrete or stucco, cheaply built, prefab apartments or offices with no architectural appeal.

We have lost many more significant structures.

Where is the balance.

Dr. Charles West Jr.
