It’s been an amazing, challenging year for historic places, preservationists in New Jersey, and for Preservation New Jersey! The constantly changing status of endangered places makes us feel like coaster riders at Great Adventure:
• the distinguished Classical Revival-style Sears Building in Camden (10 Most Endangered 2000), once thought saved, then endangered again in 2007 by an ill-considered and state-supported redevelopment plan, had another reprieve recently
• Eerio Saarinen’s Bell Labs in Holmdel (10 Most Endangered, 2007), internationally significant for its architecture, landscape and scientific history, has been threatened by a redevelopment proposal that may, for the time being, be delayed by a buyer withdrawing their purchase offer
Both of these, and other endangered sites stories, can be found in this issue of Preservation Perspective. continue>>
