Culture center bids to save old building

THE Yangpu District government’s cultural management affairs center has appealed for an apartment building that is slated for demolition to be saved, Xinmin Evening News reported yesterday.

The three-story wood-and-brick building on Fulu Street was built in 1912 and is listed as an object of immovable cultural heritage, the report claimed.

It is therefore protected from demolition, the unnamed official was quoted as saying.

The report did not say who owns the building or who decided to knock it down. It said only that its exterior walls had been painted with signs indicating its planned demise.

“The center has issued an order to the urban development authority not to damage the building,” the official said.

Until recently, the building was home to about a dozen families, all of whom have been relocated, the report said.

An unnamed worker at the site was quoted as saying that the demolition would go ahead despite the appeal by the cultural management affairs center.
