Should we save the former home of 'Beatle' Ringo Starr?

Apparently a Minister is now trying to save the former home of 'Beatle' Ringo Starr. Right or wrong members, what do you think?

Is it worth saving?

Yes, all homes are worth saving ...only person I know goes about burning down homes is this city's "fire department" and you know what...they moved an historical church into the city park to renovate it and someone burned it down...suppose in retailiation?...we may never know..many of the past people here have been moved out of our homes.. so they could use them for "fire practice"....but I know right now it's an very hot item to buy old barns down to wood sheds even across the country and piece them together and make new existing homes out of them. Traditional Magazine has  upteen pictures of many of them. One house was moved with the chinking still between the logs from South Carolina to Minnesota and reset up. They simply add glass rooms between the small cabins in the same width and have some of them into the 10,000 square foot size houses now...but the cabins" history" they take with them...to make an story about the buildings they moved and saved. My great grandfather's house was moved into town, three winds built on to it and an Docotor did own it.I have an picture of the family along with neighbors, one of them being Harper Ferry and Civil War famed "John Brown" in the picture with my ancestors at their 50th wedding anniversay back on the Kansas-Nebraska line. These are not just people that want an cheap house...they are people that could well afford big new houses...but they know this is part of our heritage to preserve the houses. Our city burned down an house for an parking lot never used now...and with it.... took out an house with 1850's real silk brocade fabirc wallpaper. It was the one time "parrish house" for the Church an block away I attened as an kid..I still have my bible given to me from that church in Oct. of 1954..at Sunday School.. There was nothing wrong with that house either....this parking lot did nothing for the city over the years.It still looks "out of place" in the area.... NADA!!!  Bad city planning.

Ron, do you mean save as a "Museum/Shrine" to Ringo or to stop the building being demolished?

I don't think the building is worth saving, but if they decide not to demolish it then a museum/shrine it shall be but why, what  did he do for the world?

Consider there is no museum/shrine for C. S. Lewis here in Oxford and it kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it? 

Here you go, Cathy

I think its stupid! He only lived in it three months for goodness sakes.

"culturally important building"  historic house" 

Rubbish!  If it needs to be demolished, get on with it. 

Thanks for the link Sue.  In view of this article - if the row of buildings cannot be economically maintained what on earth is the point in not demolishing the lot as soon as possible and put decent housing in its place.

As the article mentioned there is another house in which Ringo lived for 20 years - against only 3 months in this one - which is not going to be demolished.

What a stupid thing to get sentimental about!!
