Historic Buildings are Community Assets
Celebrating historic craftsmanship and promoting adaptive reuse of iconic properties that allows communities to prosper and future generations to enjoy our architectural heritage.
This site reflects my lifelong passion for craftsmanship and artistry of historic buildings located in communities across America. Our mission is to celebrate and promote the restoration of historic structures, from commercial landmarks, to downtown anchor buildings, to charming residential properties. Through storytelling, stunning visuals, and project showcases, we connect developers, preservationists, government officials, and investors to view historic buildings not just as remnants of the past but as vital assets for tomorrow’s thriving communities.
