“Is it not cruel to let our city die by degrees, stripped of all her proud monuments, until there will be nothing left of all her history and beauty to inspire our children. If they are not inspired by the past of our city, where will they find the strength to fight for her future?”

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

“It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future.

William Murtagh, first Keeper of the National Register for Historic Places
