Well, I am glad they are trying to make a museum out of the home. These treasures need to be saved. In Cincinnati, there is a battle going on to save a historic house once owned by James Gamble, the founder of Proctor and Gamble. The foundation that owns it claims it would cost too much money to bring the home up to standard (it was abandoned for some time) even though they have millions and millions of dollars. They are fighting it in court to have it torn down, the residents of that community want to turn it into a museum for the Gamble family. Hopefully the court will give it a historic designation soon and that should stop the demolition.

David, I'm very familiar with the Gamble House situation, I visit their Facebook page often and read articles about it. I feel terrible about the absolute need for some people to destroy our history. These houses are not just wood and glass and metal, they represent where we've come from, the only standing testament to years-gone-by, and people are so quick to 'move into the future.' It's awful, and many homes have been destroyed because, simply put, nobody cares enough about history to make such a commitment. Such a pity.
