Hello all,

The Washington Post reports that the historic workshops - that once housed
the carvers, masons and material that helped build the National Cathedral in
Washington, D.C. - are to be razed and replaced by a parking garage.

Read more about it at the URL, above, in a story entitled 'Cast Aside at the
Cathedral" and if you're so inclined write directly to the National
Cathedral, below:

Add your voice to those carvers, historians and academics who are asking

What Price Parking Space? - and why the workshops can't be refurbished as an
historic part of one of the country's most important architectural and
religious landmarks.

Kind regards,
Joe
