Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News

Yesterday, the site of Frazier's gym was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Temple students were part of the multi-step effort to get this accomplished. It was a case study for an historic preservation class taught by Temple adjunct professor Dennis Playdon. Their first step, to draw attention to the gym, was to push to have it added to the city's list of endangered properties.
