Hi Lisa and list, There is a Yahoogroup, SaveOldNOLA, for discussion of preservation concerns. The description is: I would like to propose something. I know that alot of the older homes that got the worst of the flooding will most likely have to be taken down, we can not let everything be lost, I would like to get together a group of presevationists to remove the most notable architectual components of the homes before they are lost. The Salvage from these homes would be warehoused and made available to those that need to repair flood damage on existing homes. What is left, would be donated to habitat for humanity to go into the construction of new homes.
