HISTORIC PRESERVATION 

I have worked on the preservation of hundreds of historic properties – in many cases remodeling and/or enlarging them with sensitivity to their particular period and style of construction.

I have also provided expert testimony on behalf of various government agencies and provate individuals before hisotric preservation commissions, local architectural and zoning review boards, and courts of appeals. Similarly, I have served on historic preservation boards and commissions.

One of the most interesting historic preservation projects that I have had the privilege of being involved in was the removal of an inappropriate addition and its replacement with an addition built largely from recycled (architectural salvage) materials. It is the ultimate Green Building!
