May 2020 Preservation Month Posts
May 2020 was Preservation Month, and most of us spent it in quarantine during the pandemic. To educate and entertain during this challenging time, the Preservation Alliance asked 31 historic preservation leaders in Philadelphia to name a building that has inspired them and why. Please enjoy these selections from leaders in the local preservation movement as they reveal the historic buildings that have inspired them.
