Preston Springs Hotel Demolition

A couple people had sent me articles about the demolition of the Preston Springs Hotel in Cambridge. I drove down to see it and demolition was already well underway.

The story is one that happens often. A real estate developer buys a neglected heritage property, holds onto it for a few years, and then states there’s nothing to be done and tears the building down. In the world of heritage conservation it’s called “demolition by neglect.”
