Although they are well intentioned (and useful for UE folks), I often wonder about the selection process. For example, why is the Seabiscut ranch on the National Trust list? I may be biased, but I have a hard time thinking of the Seabiscut ranch as being on the same level historically and architectually as, say, Cook County Hospital in Chicago. -N nostra-YOUPPI!  Umpire Location: Shahre:'on Kaybec Bonsoir et cest partie  |  Re: Endangered Places <Reply # 2 on 7/12/2004 8:35 PM >   yeah well it doesnt stop things from being torn down either. and look although briggs/tiger stadium is on it, the city of detroit will have no problems leveling it Montreal Expos 1969-2004 Forever Proud Lets Keep The Dream Alive RevSM  Location: South Central Texas  |  |  Re: Endangered Places <Reply # 3 on 7/12/2004 8:52 PM >   I find it humorous that the *entire state of Vermont* is on this list.

They're good at putting out lists.

If it wasn't 1:30 I would attempt to explain it in detail. There are no levels of what is more important then the next. This list is 11 of thosands, and is done every year. This isn't boot camp and you are not a ninja.

This list is 11 of thosands, and is done every year. I'm sure there is some sort of process to the National Trust list, I just meant that when I look at "endangered buildings" lists in general I often wonder what the criteria for "historic" or "architectually signifigant" is. Bethlehem Steel I understand, and if that get's ripped down I will be pissed, but I'm still scratching by head over the inclusion of the Seabiscut ranch. I'm sure that all of us know of at least one abandoned building that is really unique, yet the building in question will never be given a second look by any sort of historic architecture group. -N UER Forum > Archived UE Main > Endangered Places (Viewed 288 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
