OT: My great-great grandfather's house

[Guest guest]

Off-topic, but it's something important to me...

My hometown of Loveland, Colorado is planning to demolish a house

that my great-great grandfather built, which is the oldest home in

Loveland. Although the daugher of my great-great grandparents

() is famous in Loveland for being the first public school

teacher in the county (they named an elementary school after her),

the fact that it's not her house but rather her parents'house seems

to make it less important to the city. Several people in town want

to save the house and designate it an historic landmark. I don't

live in Colorado any more, but I feel very sad that they would want

to tear the house down to build a parking lot.

The local newspaper is running a poll, and as a favor to me, I'd

really appreciate anyone who wants to help to vote to save the

house. You can also leave a comment if you'd like. Here's the link

to the newspaper poll (you may need to scroll down a bit to see the

poll). http://www.reporterherald.com/ I wrote a Letter to the

Editor, and they said that they would print it, so I'm hopeful it

may also be of some help. Also, here's a link to a story about the

house.
