MY TURN: It’s Preservation Month — and it couldn’t be more timely
Walter Burns
May is National Preservation Month, a time to recognize and celebrate our heritage and the importance of preserving the historic buildings and neighborhoods that tell the story of our community.
When the Historic Preservation Commission started making plans for Preservation Month late last year, we had no idea how timely it would become. The perceived threat to downtown’s historic character, the potential demolition of the Roosevelt Inn and the abrupt razing of Dr. E.R.W “Ted” Fox’s former home on Lakeshore Drive, have suddenly galvanized public support for historic preservation in Coeur d’Alene.
That is a very good thing.
