What should preservation organizations do?

Well, in Colorado the National Trust's Mountain/Plains Office is undertaking a $2.3million dollar rehab of a 125 year old school!

Note to the reader: the author believes that preservation organizations should be in the business of purchasing, rehabbing and actively programming their projects.

In the case of the Emerson, CO school... who else would have initiated such a progressive concept---rehabilitating a historic building for current use---besides a preservation group?
