The Birdhouse on Mono Way in Sonora, California, is a beloved landmark that has stood since 1969. This unique structure is not just a building but a symbol of our community's history and culture. Its distinctive design has been a part of our local identity for over five decades, and it has become a cherished memory for residents and visitors alike.

Currently, plans are underway to demolish this iconic structure. However, tearing it down would not just mean the loss of a building, but the erasure of a piece of our town's history. The Birdhouse is more than bricks and mortar; it's a testament to the creativity and vision of those who came before us. It serves as a vivid reminder of Sonora's unique character and charm.

Instead of demolishing the Birdhouse, we urge the decision-makers to consider relocating it. By moving the Birdhouse to a new location, we can preserve this cherished landmark for future generations. Other towns have successfully relocated historical structures, such as the example of the London Bridge being moved to Arizona brick by brick. This tells us that it is possible to save and preserve historic structures with careful planning and community support.

Moreover, preserving the Birdhouse aligns with Sonora's commitments to sustainability and historical preservation. By choosing to conserve rather than destroy, we are setting a precedent for valuing our history and reducing construction waste.

We believe in finding a solution that benefits all parties involved, ensuring that the history and beauty of Sonora remain intact for years to come.

Please sign this petition to save the Birdhouse on Mono Way. Let us work together to preserve a piece of our shared history.
