feature Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation’s “Six to Save” Properties Illustrating the urgent need to save historic resources from demolition in Sarasota County The Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation (SAHP) announced its 2023 “Six to Save’’ properties at an event held in November at the Philippi Crest Community Clubhouse in Sarasota. Now in its fourth year, this initiative highlights the urgent need to save historic resources from demolition in Sarasota County. The program was launched in 2020 by Harry Klinkhamer, who was then the chair of the History & Preservation Coalition of Sarasota County, and is now spearheaded by SAHP, in collaboration with the Coalition. Members of the community nominate properties they are concerned about by filling out a nomination form on SAHP’s website. A Six to Save committee then reviews and selects six properties to be spotlighted that year. “The Six to Save list is a springboard for an education and advocacy effort designed to raise public awareness of the uncertain future for these historic resources. It’s also designed to invite residents and community leaders to be part of a collaborative effort to find alternatives to demolition,” said Erin DiFazio, SAHP’s program director. She noted that the program has been instrumental in raising awareness and has aided in the progress toward preservation of multiple properties, including the Snook Haven House, the South Gate Community Center, Herald Square, and the Caples mansion. DiFazio explained that the 2023 properties were selected based on “the urgency of impending threat, coupled with the significance of the resource.” At the event, SAHP leaders Erin DiFazio, program director of the Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation, addresses the audience at the 2023 Six to Save event 1 2 presented a contribution of $250 toward the restoration of the Phillippi Crest Community Clubhouse to board chair Joel Palombo. They also recognized Jesse White of Architectural Salvage board for his offer to donate salvaged lumber and materials for restoration, and to the photographer Brian 3 Jones who donated his photography services to capture each of the six properties chosen for the 2023 Six to Save list. Lorrie Muldowney, the president of SAHP, invited Marty Hylton, president of Architecture Sarasota, to speak briefly about their new program “Moderns that Matter” and talked about the importance of this advocacy work.
