HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMITTEE Archives

The HRC was formed earlier this year with the goal of being an educational resource for the AIA community about issues pertaining to historic resources. Our focus has been on the creation of a technical database and on facilitating programs and events which focus directly on current rehabilitation and restoration projects at local historic sites. We are also looking into establishing liaisons between the professional AIA community and local college and university preservation programs.

Masonry Restoration Workshop and Demonstration Tuesday, September 13, 2005, 5 - 7:30 p.m. Join the Historic Resources Committee to learn about masonry deterioration and restoration techniques, including dos and don’ts for cast and natural stone, brick, and mortar repair and replacement. We will have expert speakers, hands-on demonstrations, stone samples, boards and in-situ examples of “before” and “after” conditions. Event will be held at the Baltimore School for the Arts in Mount Vernon Square, where we will see ongoing masonry repairs.

Meet at 704 Cathedral Street. Some street parking is available; surface lots nearby at North Charles and Read Streets and Centre and Cathedral Streets.

$10 AIA members, $5 students, $25 non-members. Space is limited. RSVP by sending payment to AIABaltimore, 11 ½ West Chase Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.

1.5 AIA/CES (HSW) credits.

Special thanks to our event sponsor, David H. Gleason + Associates.
