Syracuse, N.Y. – After a group of volunteers complicated Syracuse University’s efforts to bulldoze a historic mansion, the university struck back, targeting the pocketbooks of two of those volunteers’ employers.
SU canceled its business with two architecture firms whose employees sit on the city’s Landmark Preservation Board, just days after that board voted to protect the Comstock Avenue mansion that SU wants to tear down. The mansion sits in the footprint of a massive new dormitory the university hopes to build next to Thornden Park.
