Volunteers Assessing Tornado Damage To Historic Structures In Springfield
SPRINGFIELD (CBS) - Volunteers have been spreading out across neighborhoods in Springfield to record damage to historic structures in the path of this month's tornadoes.

The Springfield Preservation Trust and Preservation Massachusetts recruited the volunteers recently to visit the South End and Maple High Six Corners areas and take notes.
Mass.Gov: Tornado Recovery
Almost 500 properties on 25 South End streets are being checked, along with scores of others in the hard-hit Maple Hill Local Historic District and nearby areas.
The survey will help preservation experts concentrate their work on historic buildings that could qualify for special repair funds.
