N.H. preservation group puts Sanborn Seminary, Grange on list to save
BY JOHN TOOLE | EAGLE TRIBUNE
The shuttered Sanborn Seminary in Kingston made the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s “Seven to Save” list.
So did the state’s Granges, including the imperiled Granite State Grange No. 149 in Newton.
The list, issued annually by the alliance, highlights endangered historic landmarks.
Sanborn Seminary, the former high school owned by the school district, is vacant. Voters in 2012 rejected a $2.19 million warrant article to renovate the seminary.
“That is a very nice thing to happen,” Kingston Heritage Commissioner Robert Bean said of the seminary’s selection. “It needs as much publicity as it can get in order to be saved. This is all to the good.”
