Preservation Stories of Challenge and Opportunity
April 10, 2016 |
The Shirley-Eustis House, a National Historic Landmark house museum and carriage house at 33 Shirley Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce a special presentation to be held at Shirley Place Mansion on Sunday, April 10, 2016 at 2:00 PM. This lecture is part of the Bob Neiley Lecture Series – a series designed to celebrate historic architectural preservation.
William Barry’s diverse professional experience including service as architect, institutional building owner and historical commission member has provided him with a unique perspective to offer thoughts and observations on preservation practice. Come hear stories and specific case studies involving several National Historic Landmarks – including Peter Harrison’s Redwood Library – that will illustrate various aspects of successfully engaging our built heritage. Bill’s ties to New Orleans will also enable personal observations on current preservation challenges there. Following a brief presentation, join us in a discussion that will welcome your own thoughts and questions.
Drawing on over thirty years of diverse architectural experience, Bill currently offers strategic thinking and creative early planning for the successful revitalization and restoration of historic structures. Through his consulting practice, Heritage Planning & Design, he assists owners, their architects and their builders in confidently engaging built heritage, advocating for a collaborative design effort that balances creative conviction with respect, and reconciling the ideal with the practical.
Admission to this event is $10 per person and refreshments will be served following Bill’s talk.
