  Mary Ruffin Hanbury, a program officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said she was impressed during a tour of the building last week.She was in town for meetings with city preservation officials.
  
  Treasures such as the former hospital building, she said, can transform a community into a tourist and economic-development magnet.
  
  "What they have in the Marine Hospital is an incredible resource," Hanbury said."When communities invest and restore things like this, it makes them unique, and you create a destination, a place where people want to be and live and invest . . . not just sprawl or some strip mall.
  
  "It's something of a landmark not only in local design, but in the broader sense by becoming a gorgeous symbol of the community."

  Mary Ruffin Hanbury, of the Southern Office of the National Trust, said Rosenwald schools were closed in the years after 1954, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation illegal in its Brown v. Board of Education decision.
  
  "It was great victory for civil rights, but also signaled the death knell for these schools," Hanbury said.
  
  Nationally, Rosenwald school buildings that have been preserved have been transformed into community centers, African-American history centers and homes.

  It does not guarantee the Biltmore will be protected or receive nonprofit or government funding, said Mary Ruffin Hanbury, program officer for the trust's Charleston, S.C.- based Southern Office.
  
  "It gives this issue a high profile nationally that it might not have otherwise," she said."To some extent, it reinforces the efforts of the people there in Belleair, the local people who want to save it."
  
  Built by railroad magnate Henry B. Plant and host to presidents, tycoons and other luminaries, the Biltmore is typical of some older Florida hotels on or near the water faced with demolition, often for high-density condominium development, Hanbury said.
  ...
  Only Mapes Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nev., and Madison-Lenox Hotel in Detroit - have been destroyed, Hanbury said.
  
  "People like to stay in historic buildings that have character and history," she said.

  Residents also heard from Mary Ruffin Hanbury, who directs the southern region of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.After complimenting the architecture of its 1950s-era motels (including the Surf, set to be torn down in May for a hotel-condominium), Hanbury said structures often go through an underappreciated period when their newness has worn off but they do not look historic.
  
  "There was a period in the 1950s and 1960s when people didn't appreciate South Beach and thought about tearing it down," Hanbury said of the Miami Beach hot spot.
