Recent Preservation-Related News Stories

Just a brief post this morning. I'm working on a couple of other things, including a post about additional upcoming conferences and our first ever blog interview, but in the meantime, these articles were in recent editions of the New York Times:
  • Another Building By a Noted Modernist Comes Under Threat, This Time in Boston (David Hay, 3/7/07) which talks about the potential demolition of Paul Rudolph's 1960 Blue Cross/Blue Shield building at 133 Federal Street in the city's Financial District. The proposed demolition would make way for a new 80-story office tower designed by another noted architect, Renzo Piano. A modern house designed by Rudolph was recently demolished in Westport, Connecticut.
