My father and uncle also went to Whittier. From what I understand whenever a new school goes up in Lorain an old one must come down, and since the new Whittier (now called Southview Middle School) has been finished the old one had been slated to be demolished. This also means that once the new Lorain High School is completed, the old Southview High School will be demolished. For those who are interested, I have pictures of Whittier from an open house in 2010 on my Facebook page.

It's too bad nobody was interested in buying it.

Governments (be it Lorain or my own Montgomery County, Maryland) are completely ignorant when it comes to the merits of historic preservation. You hit the nail on the head..."Craftsmanship." This building was constructed to last. Nothing that will ever be built on this site will have quality of construction or character that this building possesses. It is also wasteful.
