Preservation 911
I just realized I let my membership to The National Trust for Historic Preservation and included subscription to Preservation magazine lapse, so I went to catch up and sign up again online. The online magazine has a wonderful yet somewhat depressing section called Preservation 911, which alerts readers to historic homes, buildings, landmarks and landscapes that are in danger. For example, here is a chance to save a classic modern home from being razed to make way for some tacky McMansion in Cincinnati. The Rauh House in Woodlawn was designed by international style architect John Becker and constructed in 1938. Although the estate has already been subdivided, the house and two acres are available for $450,000. For more information, click here.
