Nathan Bloom - My Choice #3

For my third blog on the topic of my choice I would like to discuss historical buildings. I find it very interesting how certain places and buildings, even cars; after a certain number of years become designated a historical landmark or an antique. This is similar to designating a place to be sacred after a given amount of time. According to Belden Lane in his book, "Landscapes of the Sacred" there are four axioms that must be met in order for a place to be sacred, or four axioms that can help define a sacred place. Desiginating a place sacred becasie of its age does not meet Lane's principles.
