Dorothy Miner and historic preservation
See the obituary from the New York Times, "Dorothy Miner, 72, Legal Innovator, Dies." She led the NYC effort on two very important cases, Penn Central v. the City of New York, which established the legal basis for historic preservation as a subset of building regulations, which local governments are empowered to address, and another case which distinguished between "freedom of religion" and historic preservation and building regulation with regard to religious properties.
