Howland showed these pictures in his lectures as a shocking example of the wanton destruction of historic American buildings. In 1957 Howland spoke to a packed house of Portsmouth citizens at the Rockingham Hotel. He implored the city to stop destroying its architectural heritage. Howland’s inspirational talk was a key factor in the creation of Strawbery Banke Inc., a nonprofit preservation company founded 50 years ago. Today the building survives as an auto shop and popular BBQ restaurant. (Courtesy Richard M. Candee)
