4.9/5 (24364 ratings)

Description:This book examines why an architecturally significant, Queen-Anne style mansion in Downers Grove, Illinois was demolished even though citizens valiantly tried to save it for one year. With all the information available in the form of books, journals, websites and videos concerning historic preservation, why did the citizens of Downers Grove fail to save this historic gem? Academic literature shows the significance of historic preservation from economic and sustainability standpoints. Communities have used historic preservation to revitalize main streets across America, and large corporations like Walmart and American Express have also supported historic preservation. Unfortunately, architecture is the most fragile of the arts. Thousands of historic houses and buildings are demolished across America each year. So, how can we build awareness for communities to preserve their cultural heritage? My book examines those possibilities. Urban renewal can coexist with historic preservation. We cannot, and we must not, take our cultural heritage for granted.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
