We tried in vain to save this historic gem – see the tireless effort by Save The Amp, the press release regarding the Chautauqua Amp lawsuit 01-22-16 and the Article 78 Verified Petition on behalf of Chautauqua Committee to Preserve the Historic Chautauqua Amphitheater and a group of brave residents. But Chautauqua Institution ended up being beyond the law.
Fortunately, at least, we and all of America have our memories [see, for example, National Trust’s characterization of the Amp as “the heart”of the Chautauqua Institution, and the Amp’s prominent role in CI’s listing as a historic landmark district at amp_national register]:
