The destruction of the large concrete machine hall of the Eisden Coalmine
(Limburg, Belgium) seems to have started - although local preservationists
always were promised that this interesting early concrete building would be
saved. There were a lot of proposals for re-use.
The 'Eisden Heritage Foundation' asks for letters of support to save this
building.
