In the Driftway
December 10, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the new law, primarily concerned with buildings of historic or national interest. It will prohibit their removal not only to another country but to another site, and also it will attempt to prevent the stripping of such buildings of their fittings- of the oak paneling and carved staircases which sell for huge prices in Madison Avenue shops. But the cottages and lesser castles of old England may still be transported with impunity. Furthermore, the article gives a brief insight of the act of removing cottages and castles from the ancient ivied settings of the U.S.
