Conclusion
There
are buildings all around you, old buildings, new buildings,
large buildings, private homes and public businesses.
By investigating Denver ’s historic fire stations
you discovered the many ways buildings can relate to
the communities in which they are located and why preservationists
work to save historic buildings. Hopefully, you’ll
continue to notice the buildings around you, because
the built environment plays an important role in our
daily lives.
| Your
Turn:
Chose
your favorite building near where you live or
go to school. Draw the building in your FIRE!
Passport. Describe how the building looks, its
style, in your own words. Explain what the building
is used for and find out if it was ever used for
a different reason. Tell a story about something
that happened to you inside or near your building.
Describe why you think the building is special.
Now, imagine that someone wants to knock down
your building and replace it with another structure.
List the arguments you would use to save your
building from demolition.
