Oregon SHPO Webinar: Keeping Your Historic Building in Shape: Maintaining Historic Landscape Character, July 15
Keeping Your Historic Building in Shape: Maintaining Historic Landscape Character
July 15, 1:30pm-3pm
Online
While previous sessions have focused on maintaining historic structures and their character-defining features, this session will explore exterior spaces. Often, landscapes and the curated grounds surrounding a structure are equally as significant and contribute to the integrity of the site. Join Joy Sears, Oregon State Historic Preservation Office's Restoration Specialist to explore maintaining these landscape features, hardscaping, and grounds that support and contribute to historical context.
