Abatement of the Greystone Kirkbride<\/a> in New Jersey appears to be nearing completion, and actual demolition could begin as early as this month. Preserve Greystone<\/a> is planning a rally at the Kirkbride on Sunday, April 12th. More information is available at the #Rally4Greystone event page on Facebook<\/a>. Please attend the rally if you can. It’s important to show strong support for preserving the building. Even though the demolition process is in motion, Preserve Greystone is still fighting to halt it, and they can use all the support they can get from like-minded preservationists. <\/p>\n On April 3rd, the New York Times published an article on this story: Preservationists Fight to Save a Former Asylum in New Jersey<\/a>. It’s fantastic such a widely-read media outlet wrote about what’s going on. I hope it makes a difference in Greystone’s fate, but also that it contributes to more consideration being given to saving other Kirkbride buildings.<\/p>\n Preserve Greystone has posted an appeal on Facebook<\/a> for all parties interested in saving the Kirkbride. I’ve reproduced the text of that post below. Please attend the Freeholder meeting if possible. And please at the very least sign the online petition<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two ways to voice your opinions in person or through petition to the County. Either attend this week’s Freeholder’s Meeting along with members of Preserve Greystone’s board, or sign our online petition<\/a>. Please, mail and\/or scan and email any physical petitions you may have in your possession that have not been sent to Preserve Greystone.<\/em><\/p>\n
