Threatened with demolition, this award-winning Sanborn Library building, designed by Leonard Asheim and built in 1922, is an exquisite and historically significant structure to Bridgeport and to people and groups who've availed themselves to it. We must not allow this to be demolished.

The demo of the Sanborn, I'm told, will happen in the next day or two.
So, what can you do?
Go d to 1705 Fairfield Ave, Bridgeport, CT, take photos and videos to add to the archive which we are going to submit to the BridgeportLibrary History Center.
And schedule to speak in opposition to the developer's application for a variance at the next ZBA meeting on August 13th at 6 PM at Bridgeport City Hall 45 Lyon Terrace.
