I wonder if the Coco Palms had survived if would've stayed traditional or renovated?

FYI: The Coco Palms is shooting to re-open in 2007.

Maybe now is the time to start flooding them emails prompting for a traditional style.

Update:
Excerpt from another article (http://starbulletin.com/2004/10/10/news/story6.html):

Weiser, a South Carolina developer who lives part-time in Princeville, wants to spend $200 million to rebuild the Coco Palms to look the way it did at the peak of its popularity.

"It won't be absolutely the same. The rooms will be larger than they were in the 1950s," Weiser said in an interview. "But the buildings will look the same, the lobby will be the same, everything will look as much as possible like the original."
