In the Upper Valley, architectural elements saved from old buildings seem to wind up at Vermont Salvage in White River Junction.

An interesting large-scale example of salvage and reuse was linked recently from the frequently-updated facilities blog of the Chronicle of Higher Education: At Dickinson College, a 1950s Georgian cupola is being turned into a birdhouse (Dickinson photo).

The cupola’s original building, which was demolished, was called “the Levinson Curtilage” — a name with a story behind it if ever there was one. The Web is not immediately forthcoming.
