Texas State University's most recognizable building is showing signs of wear and tear. Chris Green has the story in this Bobcat Update.

Old Main has been a fixture in San Marcos for more than a century. Thousands of students and faculty have passed through its halls since the building opened. 
Stand Up
It's difficult to see the effects of time on the century-old building from afar, but students, staff and faculty who occupy the building for classes and office space are aware of its defects. Cracks in the walls and floors can be seen on all three floors of Old Main. Water damage can be seen on the third floor of the building. As is common with older structures, temperature control is a challenge. 
Soundbite
Old Main is on the National Register Of Historic Places, which means that any changes to the structure must be carefully planned to preserve the building's integrity as a landmark.
Soundbite
For all its cosmetic flaws, Old Main still stands tall over the rising star of Texas. For Bobcat Update, I'm Chris Green.
