The Hall-Benedict Drug Company Building is listed on the National Register Register of Historic Places and it is also a contributing property in the Whitney Avenue Historic District. Does the historic designation protect the building from changes to its exterior appearance? Recently, the distinctive arched window on the Orange Street side of the building was replaced with a hideous modern replacement. The original window is in the dumpster on Linden Street and could possibly be salvaged. Is there anything that can be done to preserve the historic nature of this neighborhood? Buildings are being routinely gutted and altered at an accelerating pace.
