[MassHistPres] Advocacy Success Stories

[Skelly, Christopher (SEC)]

I am looking for examples of threatened buildings that were saved from demolition through local grassroots advocacy.  Advocacy includes techniques such as contacting local elected officials, speaking at public hearings, letter writing campaigns, organizing a friends group, raising funds, alerting the local media as well as many other techniques.  Do you have an advocacy success story?  I am particularly interested in examples from communities that do not have demolition delay and succeeded solely through advocacy.  Chris
