Wal Mart Threat to Vermont
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed the entire state of Vermont on its 2004 list of threatened locations, arguing that the company’s expansion plans are a threat to the state’s distinctive small towns and their local businesses.
Vermont, though, is only one of the eleven threatened locations identified by the NTHP for 2004:
- 2 Columbus Circle, New York City
- Bethlehem Steel Plant, Bethlehem, PA
- Historic Cook County Hospital, Chicago, IL
- Elkmont Historic District, Great Smokey Mountains National Park, TN
- George Kraigher House, Brownsville, TX
- Gullah/Geechee Coast, SC & GA
- Madison-Lenox Hotel, Detroit, MI
- Nine-Mile Canyon, Carbon & Duchesne counties, UT
- Ridgewood Ranch Home of Seabiscuit, Willits, CA
- Tobacco Barns, Southern Maryland
The Kraigher House is described as “[a] little-known landmark” and an example of the work of modern architect Richard J. Neutra, which made me understand why I was not familiar with the structure.
