National Trust Blog

For all the tech-savvy preservationists out there, the planners for the 2007 National Trust Conference have established a blog to document their work. They are giving all the conference sessions a dry-run and posting their adventures online. The conference will be held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in October, and features some pretty interesting architecture including a bank building designed by Louis Sullivan and a gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (no, I'm not kidding, it is a fully functioning gas station). They've got some great photos posted on the blog, including a photo featuring one of the most beautiful rooms ever constructed--the breakfast room at Glensheen Mansion (definitely worth a trip to Duluth).
