    Foreword Crossover: Preserving History at The Brown Homestead
    Jun 12 2024

    When a historic building is preserved, the stories embedded into its walls and floorboards are also preserved.

We peel back the layers of history found in floor stencils, lath walls, and wallpaper to uncover why purpose-driven adaptive reuse matters in the heritage field.
