"They stand as windows to the past, reminding us of our triumphs and warning of our trespasses."
Historic Preservation Group Wants to Save Orange County Landmarks, Los Angeles Times, November 16, 2017
Read the feature in the Los Angeles Times about the urgent effort to save Orange County's disappearing history. Among the significant, endangered historic places on the list for nonprofit Preserve Orange County: the National Treasure Historic Wintersburg.
"Though their histories hold important dictums for society, their walls can be under siege in a region defined by unyielding development. But a new organization, Preserve Orange County, hopes to combat the industrial colossus from devouring history."
