The Future Fenway Fenway Park Preservation Proposal
Introduction
An alternative that preserves our shared past
Fenway Park
West Fens
An alternative that is economically efficient
An alternative that addresses Team Goals and Objectives
The Future Fenway Fenway Park Preservation Proposal
Assumptions
Saving Real History is better than reconstructing history
The needs of the Team, and their patrons, should be addressed in the existing structure
The Fenway neighborhood is also historic. The Park and the neighborhood must work together to conserve a valuable common past
Historic Buildings can continue to lead meaningful lives in the face of change
Historic Preservation represents the most economically efficient alternative
The value of Fenway as an historic resource is well established: the National Park Service
The Future Fenway Fenway Park Preservation Proposal
Preservation Means
Living History
The real McCoy, not a reproduction
Change can be accommodated while real history lives on
Assuring predictability for owner and neighbors
Historic preservation, construction dollar for dollar, generates more jobs than new construction
