Help Preserve Ensley's Historic Nixon Building with a Few Clicks

The clock has just started ticking on a campaign to rack up votes for a photo contest featuring the historic Nixon-Belcher building at Ensley's Tuxedo Junction. Tha National Trust for Historic Preservation accepted 1900 entries in their "This Place Matters" photo contest. On Monday, September 29th, the Trust announced a photo of the Nixon Building, the one remaining symbol of Tuxedo Junction's rich early 20th century culture, has been chosen as one of only 12 finalists. Efforts are underway to establish a cultural heritage center at the site, and this exposure could push the project to the tipping point.
