ABOUT DAN MACEY
Historic preservation, especially of modern and mid-century structures, has been a passion of Dan Macey’s for the last decade. Together with his husband, Paul Savidge, he restored the Louis Kahn designed Margaret Esherick house in Philadelphia, a project for which they received numerous local and national preservation awards. Dan is a board member of the Philadelphia chapter of docomomo, an international organization dedicated to preserving modernist architecture. He co-chaired the national symposium of docomomo US when it was recently held in Philadelphia. Dan also serves on the executive board of the Chestnut Hill Conservancy and is a former board member of Manitoga/The Russel Wright Design Center.
Dan is an award-winning commercial food stylist preparing food and food scenes for television, cookbooks, packaging and in-store promotions. He has a strong interest in food culture and food writing. He is on the board of the Historic Foodways Society of the Delaware Valley and speaks often on food history topics. He has contributed to numerous food history books, including one that won a James Beard award. Dan’s article on the popularity of mutton in Regency England was nominated for an IACP award. He likes nothing more than combining his interests in architecture and food history and to whip up a mod, mid-century-inspired shindig.
