The current University of Washington was campus built in early 1900s, a lot of it are supposedly still the original buildings from a century ago, so I was willing to give the whole school-built-in-19th-century thing a slide. HOWEVER, maintenance of old buildings are expensive. Back home in Indonesia, plenty of old buildings built in early 20th century are very very crappy looking and only serve as tourist attraction because the government can't afford the maintenance. If the town could only afford a 2-hall cinema, I doubt it'd be able to afford keeping the old school building intact for daily use. At least SOME parts of it would have been torn down and replaced.
