You know how I feel about old buildings. Their demolition hits me like the dreaded headache ball they face. Yes, this is often a must -- especially after years of neglecting them.
I urge the Fairmount locals to save the stage and serats. Go one better too. Save the entire theater, gym or auditorium. Then use this space as a new James Dean Museum.
For sale: Stage where James Dean's career began
FAIRMOUNT, Ind. (AP) - The stage in a long-closed central Indiana high school where James Dean first performed is up for sale.
The group that owns the dilapidated Fairmount High School hopes to find a buyer to salvage the stage as it works on plans to demolish the building.
Madison-Grant Youth Basketball League treasurer Matt Patton says the group doesn't know how much the stage might be worth. The league has considered selling the auditorium chairs, but Patton says they're connected and would have to be sold as entire rows.
Dean grew up on a farm near Fairmount and graduated from the high school in 1949. He landed his iconic role in "Rebel Without a Cause" before his death at age 24 in a 1955 California car crash.

I have never seen this school but always wanted too. But I have seen some that have found new life. And even partial buildings can be saved. Please give it some thought.
You have had chances. There has even been some interest from Hollywood to save it. Will there be another James Dean Museum? Dare I question your love for your favorite son?
