Four years after the passage of The National Historic Preservation Act, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NOVA Parks) began a daunting task: the restoration of the Carlyle House, an Aquia creek stone building in Alexandria, VA. Fauber Garbee, Inc., Architects directed the extensive restoration and research of Carlyle’s 1753 home and the long forgotten stories associated with the house.
Join members of the original restoration team Sharon Park, FAIA, FAPT, LEED AP and Baird M. Smith, FAIA FAPT along with other preservation professionals to examine the specific conservation, repair and restoration steps undertaken 50 years ago. Then delve into a dialogue exploring whether the same paths would be taken today and why or why not.
The presentation begins at 4 p.m. followed by a panel discussion and a moderated question and answer session .Join us for the opportunity to network with other professionals afterwards for some light bites.
Space is limited and reservations are required. This program is non-refundable unless the museum cancels the program. Having trouble registering? Please call 703-549-2997 or email [email protected]
$12 per person, Friends of Carlyle House members: $6/person with code
