"Mary Our Queen Catholic Church, of Norcross, Georgia, is looking to purchase a spectacular, historic Buffalo, New York, basilica and move it nearly a thousand miles south. The church calls it "preservation through relocation" and claims new construction of equal quality would cost more than twice as much. Lofty ambitions to be sure but there's more than one devil in the details, including the apparent absence of a surrounding neighborhood in its new home, and the outcry from the Buffalo preservation community, who considers this "preservation by plunder."" -- **Please remember to trim posts, as requested in the Terms of Service** To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://listserv.icors.org/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html>
