Someone put up a petition in a bid to stop the demolition of Bayt Lothan. Not being pessimistic here but I highly doubt a petition will make a difference, I mean when they were going to demolish the original Chamber of Commerce and Industry building two years ago, there were protests and it was all over the media yet the building still got demolished in the end. But I guess it doesn’t hurt to at least try so here is the link to the petition [Link]

The difference is there are laws protecting old buildings from the 1930s, while the old Chamber of Commerce building was built in the 1960s so it didn’t meet the criteria for historic preservation. Bayt Lothan fits the criteria.
The response will be one of the three.
Take your pick =D

We’re not in the states. I doubt they even know what a petition is here.. but hey, good luck to them!
A mall beside a mall, how absurd is this!!!!! I cant imagine how the country is made, let them decide what to do with Showbizz area at Salmiya then come and decide what to do with this… and now that the country decided to kick out expats that are not necessary i wonder who will do the new mall for them……….
what are you on about?
I think Layla Gallery is what needs to be demolished on that street.
but… I like Layla Gallery… >.>
but.. but.. I had so many memories there 🙁
Here’s an idea, if you truly want to get things done only one thing can stop this. Money.
Start a fundraiser and buy out the property, then you can forget about the property. Let’s be honest you guys don’t really care.
If sniveling were currency, most people would be billionaires.
Bayt Lothan is part of the Historical Buildings revision campaign, NCCAL is requesting to transfer ownership in order to protect the building.
