Breakfast with a Preservationist
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
8:00 a.m. Mill City Museum, 710 South Second Street.
Todd Grover of MacDonald and
Mack Architects
Recent trends in the building industry have integrated sustainability into most new buildings. But the beginning stages of
this movement seemed to disregard, or at least minimize, the re-use and the preservation of our existing fabric. As we move
to the next phase of sustainability, the value of these older and historic buildings are playing a more prominent role.
Now may be a good time to assess the areas where sustainability and historic preservation mesh, and where there might be c
onflicts between the two. Come early to buy a breakfast treat and coffee from the Mill City Cafe. Metered parking is
available along Second Street and in a public parking garage across from the museum. The event is free!
