A group of residents made a last-ditch effort to save the old San Marcos Telephone Company building from demolition, but their attempts were too late.
Ryan Patrick Perkins put himself forth as the contact person if the developer of the San Marcos Lofts apartments that will be built between Hopkins and San Antonio Street was interested in giving the group time to get the building moved to a different location.
“There is a surging crowd of passionate community members willing to do whatever it takes to move the Old San Marcos Telephone Company to a nearby location before its demolition,” Perkins posted on Facebook. “If you’re the owner/developer and you are willing to discuss such an opportunity with a local group, please contact me directly. Depending on how it’s facilitated, there could be positive financial benefits/credits to your organization for helping to save it, because it’s on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s a huge public relations win, and an opportunity to do something special for this community.”
