Preserving this architectural legacy highlights the role of architecture and design professionals in shaping built environments where continuity between the past and the present reinforces communities' sense of place. On Long Island, a coalition of advocates came together to save the A. Conger Goodyear House, which dates to 1938 and was designed by Edward Durell Stone. Significant works of modern architecture are threatened every day by physical deterioration, perceived functional or economic obsolescence, and public indifference. From maintaining material authenticity to respecting the original architectural intent, design professionals and students alike are taking the initiative to evaluate and develop interventions that can demonstrate and restore the relevance of these structures. Drawing inspiration from works such as Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, American architect Edward Durell Stone designed the Goodyear House in Old Westbury, an affluent community on Long Island's North Shore in New York.
