The Dr. Cowan House

There is a house near my neighborhood that will soon be gone and eventually I'm afraid forgotten. The house was originally built as the residence of a local physician. Until recently it was used as the offices for a car and truck lot. I'm not really sure why, but it is scheduled for demolition pretty soon. There is an auction on 11/09 for anything that can be salvaged from the home.
It's just sad to me that this old house will be gutted of anything of value and then whatever is left will be knocked to the ground and carted off to a landfill. Very sad.:(

I cannot express how angry this makes me :rage:

It's time to contact your local preservation society and start a grass-roots campaign to save this beautiful building. At the very least to have it turned into a museum.
