The main reason as to why a building's facade would be preserved is simple-When a building's facade is preserved, it's usually meant to bring a historical aesthetic, while serving as a homage to the building or institution that once stood on that ground, after it's become unusable over time.

From historical to aesthetically pleasing, the types of structures where the facade is preserved range from anything historically or culturally significant within a community, such as; old church buildings, classically-designed homes, schools, and classic store fronts.
Sometimes, when the facade of an old building is preserved, it eventually becomes part of the "story" that comes when a new building is constructed in its place, using the facade of the historical structure as part of the aesthetic.
When walking through different parts of your city, where historical and cultural shifts happen over time, facade preservation is a common artistic theme you might have noticed over the years. This architectural design theme is called facadism. Sometimes, residents like to debate whether facadism, although used for aesthetic purposes, should be considered "historical preservation", or just be considered creative street art.
But what happens when the facade of a building is no-longer stable enough to stand safely on its own, or is no longer needed for it’s historical/aesthetic purposes?
