Preservation Compilation: Who Done It Solved

Comments
Leave a commentmight I make a suggestion toward solving this list of historic endangered buildings.
1) Breakup Buffalo into its respective neighborhood districts
2) use what already exists like google which has pictures of every house on every street
3) create a database of links based on addressed within each neighborhood district
4) tap local neighborhood associations, local religious groups, local schoolos, locals interestd in preservation that can highlight endangered buildings within the areas that they are the most familiar. No one knows a neighborhood like the locals.
We could together a low cost, decentralized and low maintenance list where we could target endangered and historic buildings within the entire city.
I just read the study done by Preservation Buffalo Niagara (http://www.preservationbuffaloniagara.org/docs/Waters-Final-Report.pdf),which seems like a logical place to house this database and to centralize efforts. The study is decent, a bit thin, and could use more teeth. Nonetheless, it seems like a solid start.
I did read on their opinion on a congregation in Georgia's interest to deconstruct St. Gerard's church, and felt very dismayed (http://www.preservationbuffaloniagara.org/page/deconstructing-and-moving-st-gerards-church/): it sickens me that we would let one single,additional building go....but, in actuality, their position is well thought out and balanced.
Seems as though we should be doing everything as a community to make the group as strong as it can be.
wow, who wrote that statement? they need a proofreader.

Wonderful list but with one error I know of -
item #35 (Garret Club) is definitely not a picture of the club; in addition the building was built by the Garret Club members on 1929 to be exactly what it is - a ladies club, not converted from another use.
Sure enough, the building shown is Nardin, to the left of the Garret Club. Nice spot, and we'll make sure word gets to Hull.
Thank you for noting the discrepancy in the picture of the Garret Club. David Torke graciously obtained a picture yesterday and its been added to that Wikipedia article. Best wishes, Ted Hull
