Always enjoy the photo contest.
This building is the most historic building in Kent but its back story (from decades ago), is the foundation of preservation in Kent. The attitude of the people that saved this building is what Heritage Ohio and the Main Street Program is about. Faced with demolition of the historic depot, in a town (Kent) that was still reeling from the events of May 4th on the Kent State Campus, a group of citizens decided to make it their job to save the building. Their personal sacrifice and commitment kept this building standing as they personally worked to renovate the depot and bring it back to life.
The photo is a great one and I hope it wins.
Thanks
Doug
Both photos are outstanding. I like being inside a unique space and seeing how it relates to the outside, and the views that one experiences. This can often provoke discussions of what the surrounding area was like when the structure that you are standing in was built.
