Effort to Save Landmark Coal Silos in Callicoon

The towering coal silos on Main Street in Callicoon, New York, once served as the heartbeat of the small town, transporting coal from Honesdale, PA, to Monticello, NY, and helping put the hamlet on the map.

Now, nearly a century after they were built, the historic structures are deteriorating, sparking a local movement to save the iconic landmark before it’s too late.

We spoke to ENGN Civic Creative Center co-founders Issac Green Diebbol and Tom Bosket about the preservation effort.
