THE KINOLD MEMORIAL PAVILION (FORMER MAIN BUILDING OF SAPPORO FUJI GIRL'S HIGH SCHOOL, FOUNDED IN 1924) AND THE CITIZENS MOVEMENT FOR PRESERVATION OF HISTORICAL PROPERTIES

Abstract

This paper deals with the process of demolishing the Kinold Memorial Pavilion of Fuji Gakuen, Sapporo, designed by architect Max Hinder in 1924, and with the citizens movement toward preserving it. The Kinold Memorial Pavilion was selected as one of 100 cultural hometown properties of Sapporo as well as one of 88 historical and cultural properties of Kita-ku in Sapporo. This paper proposes that we should not only refer to the investigation report or drawings of measuring the historical buildings but also to the citizens movement for preservation of historical properties.
