You're invited to play "cards" and discuss the future and potential of Hawthorne Hall, the wonderful neighborhood landmark that straddles Mantua and Powelton Village on Lancaster Avenue.
GRAY AREA is developing a preservation toolkit -- a deck of cards designed to promote community dialogue and provocative thinking about old buildings. Attendees will have a chance to "play" with the cards and provide feedback and ideas about Hawthorne Hall and the toolkit itself.
Our goal is to create a tool that will faciliate thinking about Hawthorne Hall and be replicable elsewhere and useful to communities both in brainstorming about old buildings and evaluating actual development proposals
