The Route 66 centennial as a catalyst for historic preservation. Building a sense of community and community purpose through historic preservation. The importance of and challenges associated with preserving mid century homes and commercial architecture. The dollars and cents of historic preservation. Our discussion on this episode of Coffee With Jim with Mary-Frances O'Dea, a writer, editor, historic preservation consultant, and the founder of Mid-Century Style magazine, was wide ranging and thought provoking.
This episode may be over but the conversation continues. Did our conversation lead to thoughts about historic preservation in the town that you call home? We would like to hear from you about endangered mid century properties, preservation projects that transformed your community, outside of the box thinking that transformed an historic district, or your thoughts about the importance of historic preservation. Jim Hinckley's America is a shared adventure! So, let's share the adventure that is preserving the past for the future.
