Margot Gayle

By Ann Bartow

From the NYT:

Margot Gayle, who brought a cast-iron will ? cloaked in Victorian gentility ? to the preservation of 19th-century architecture, popularizing the historic preservation movement in its infancy and helping save SoHo at a time when bulldozers were on the horizon, died on Sunday in her home on the Upper East Side. She was 100.
