Restore Explore Connect: Preservation 101

Preservation Greensboro is planning an exciting Lecture Series in early 2017 that will focus on Architecture, the Decorative Arts, and History in the Gate City and Guilford County. The series will take place week nights, and will be presented by scholars and experts who have studied the unique facets of our history that makes our community a remarkable place to live.

We have a great storyline spanning 300 years of history here in our corner of the world. Why not learn more about it? Our Lecture Series is free to the public, and topics are detailed on our Events page. Please plan to join us for Restore Explore Connect – Preservation Greensboro’s 2017 Lecture Series!

Do you get muddled by terminology of preservationists? Can you tell the difference between remodeling, restoration, reconstruction, and preservation? Do you know the difference between local designation and National Register status? Preservation Greensboro’s Executive Director will present an introduction to the terminology and concepts associated with historic preservation, including types of designations, using examples from around the world. This presentation is fun for both the seasoned professional as well as those new to the preservation movement. Benjamin has contributed to O.Henry Magazine and The High Point Enterprise,WFDD and WUNC radio, WGHP Fox8 and WFMY News 2, and wrote a book on the Architecture of High Point in 2008.  1.5 hours
