She has memories as a child of lying on the floor with sunlight coming through the windows as she finger painted. This building is over 70 years old. The perception there is no historical value is wrong. The City has placed it on the chopping block. She, and others, would like to see the Music Room preserved as the College Station Museum of RM021011 Minutes Page 1 History. The City's 75th anniversary is coming up in 2013.
