National Park Service v. National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States · ¶31

Hoagland, meanwhile, is deeply committed to the preservation of such historic American buildings, as evidenced by her decades-long membership in the Trust, leadership role in the organization, academic work as a professor of history and historic preservation, volunteer work providing presentations on the District of Columbia’s historic architecture, and authorship of works on historic American architecture. Given this commitment to the preservation of historic buildings, Hoagland enjoys viewing and appreciating such buildings in person. As a Capitol Hill resident, Hoagland regularly visits the White House to take in the historic building’s beauty and to appreciate its symbolism. By overshadowing the traditional White House, Hoagland explains, the new ballroom will detract from the building’s message of republican simplicity and thereby worsen her viewing experience.
