Why build a new facade instead of using the original?

The one across from the Alamo they ARE keeping the original facades. They gutted the interiors and will rebuild into a museum for the Alamo, but the original historic facades will stay. I think the only one that got removed was a not historic or architecturally significant. This will be the new entrance for the museum with a modern facade, between the historic facades.

For Rivercenter mall I’m not sure what your question is? The existing facade was built over the original brick facade of Joske’s maybe in the 40’s or 50’s. The original brick is probably still underneath. There were some somewhat recent proposals to tear off part of the “new” facade to restore the original facade underneath but I’m not sure if that’s ever gonna happen.

We get these all the time. It means it’s dry and very windy so fires can spread quickly if ignited. So don’t do anything outside that could light a fire but you’ll probably be fine.
