Last week’s story about the conflict between the Chestnut Hill Conservancy and the Chestnut Hill Hospital over the historic nomination of the Women’s Health Center building contained an error (see the opinion section for the correction). It also opened up a discussion about big questions that matter: How do we preserve history while shepherding the future? How best to value those competing concerns, and how binding should old promises be? See the opinion section for two points of view.
