Letter: Preserve the 1913 Historic Library

By |

My name is Rebecca Serven, and I am a New Canaan High School alumna, class of 2017, currently studying Mechanical Engineering. I would like to take a moment to respond to the Op-Ed published earlier titled, “Critically Important’ To Move Forward with Current Plans to Rebuild New Canaan Library.”

I refuse to support a decision that destroys another piece of our history due to those who will not prioritize the wealth and beauty of New Canaan’s past, over their current individual interests. It pains me to ask how much longer must the people fight for the preservation of our town’s heritage? From the Silvermine Tavern to the Maple Street Cemetery to the house on 8 Ferris Hill or even the Melba Inn on Park Street? And now, the time has come again to defend the preservation of the 1913 Main Street portion of our historic library.
