Historical Preservation – A Radical Conservative Liberal Concept

We hope you will forgive us for not having new photos this week with our Annual Meeting looming on Sunday, June 12. In exchange, we would like to share a recording of a TEDxRiversideAvondale presentation “Historical Preservation – A Radical Conservative Liberal Concept” by Wayne Wood. The presentation is an encapsulation of the historic preservation movement with all its quirks and contradictions which cut across political affiliations. Some of these themes will be very familiar and resonant to the creation of PHW and other preservation organizations and their battles to save historic neighborhoods and conserve often highly vulnerable pieces of well-made architecture. You may view the approximately 16 minute video at YouTube or in the embedded video player below.
