  1. And I love the Drake.
    I was the last tenant of the top floor grand suite, with a view all the way to Ohio. Sunrises were amazing.
    No doubt that huge apartment will eventually be carved into smaller units, but I was glad to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    1. THat’s amazing. Always wanted to go into that building. Sad but equally excited to see what do with it.

  2. I am a self admitted building hugger. I love beautiful old buildings with good bones like the Drake and have been involved with it for some 9 or 10 years.. Hugged the old St Vincent Hospital until it became a gorgeous part of Ivy Tech. Volunteered to swing the first sledgehammer on Winona Hospital before it came down.

    Tore down the nearby Whitestone and I was OK with that. Same for five buildings south of Trinity Church on the other side of Meridian St. But the Drake…you gotta see it to really understand GREAT bones!

    Sure, the Drake has challenges. Structural, HVAC, elevator, plumbing, windows….. But WOW, if we can save that building, it would be so worth it.
