Architectural History

Architectural History

Evaluating historic properties to provide context for the future.

We provide a full range of architectural history services. Our historians have surveyed, researched, and made recommendations on thousands of architectural history properties. The vast range of properties we have studied includes bridges, industrial plants, railroad corridors, downtown districts, water towers, and designed landscapes. Our historic and cultural contexts provide a solid framework for evaluating properties, developing interpretive stories, and making informed planning decisions, and helping clients reduce project risk through early identification of potential issues.
