What is the site address? >===== Original Message From Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> ===== >Dear Timothy, >This is the oldest intact American Method Filtration Plant and Pumping >Station - it dates to 1882. It is on the State and National Registers of >Historical Sites and is National Landmark Eligible - that nomination is >currently being prepared. It is also a designated "Official Project" of Save >America's Treasures, which means it has been defined as a site that "defines >America." It holds 100 years of intact technology - steam to electricity, >which Robert M. Vogel of the Smithsonian Institution has called "the history >of the Industrial Revolution in one building - steam to electricity." >The cost of saving the site - first phase - which would have the Museum and >Education Center up and Running - is only $6 million. We already have over >$1.3 million being held in escrow to stabilize the site. We have already >id'd another $4.5 million which could be used to preserve the site. The >money, has not been a worry as there is such an enormous response to this >very important national industrial site. > >Take a look at our website, and see if you still feel the same way. If this >were just some old brick factory, he might have a point. But at this site, >the American Method of Water filtraiton, which became a national and >international standard was perfected - also the Activated carbon method of >water filtration was invented here in the '20's - it has so many levels of >historical importance, and would make an extraordinary museum and education >center of technology and water. > >Saving Industrial sites and technology is one of the most neglected areas in >this country. > >THat is why there is a State and National Coalition to save this site which >includes the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Architects >Institute of America (AIA) - both National and New Jersey branch, Society for >Industrial Archeology (SIA), > >========================================================= >Important Subscriber Information: > >The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
