Orange County Government Center on the World Monuments Fund Watch List

Paul Rudolph's 1971 Orange County Government Center in Goshen, NY has been included in the World Monuments Fund 2012 Watch List. From their website:

"Poor maintenance practices have led to deterioration, and county government has been calling for the building to be demolished and replaced. Exacerbating the issue, a hurricane in September 2011 caused flooding of and extensive damage to the structure, after which the center was closed by county officials, who renewed the proposal for demolition. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which provides assistance to local governments after disasters, has asked for further study of conditions and the feasibility of repair. The local community is also calling for more review, and grassroots activists have united in support of the Orange County Government Center. It is hoped that inclusion on the Watch will help save this notable piece of progressive architecture."
