Office Hours
Advising hours will be posted on my faculty office
door each week, a week in advance. Please sign up and bring an
agenda. If you plan to discuss drafts, proposals, drawings, field
notes, photographs, or similar material, please leave a copy in
my faculty mailbox with a note asking me to preview your work
at least two days before your meeting — to provide enough
time to consider carefully your work before getting together.
Course Description
"An examination of the primary and secondary
resources used in research for historic preservation, including
documentary, photographic, maps, and physical analysis. Students
will be assigned individual buildings to research. Exercises will
