Across small towns and cities, the heart of America is quietly crumbling—one historic building at a time. The Crumbling of Main Street uncovers the hidden crisis of neglected infrastructure, peeling back the layers of history, policy failures, and economic shifts that have left once-thriving downtowns in decay.
Drawing from personal experience, firsthand accounts, and expert insights, Tiffany “Brick Lady” Tillema explores what happens when communities fail to preserve their architectural heritage—and what can be done before it's too late. With engaging storytelling and a call to action, this book is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for saving our towns before they disappear, brick by brick.
If you care about history, community, and the future of Main Street, this is a book you won’t want to miss.
