Lost Architecture

The days of summer are soon coming to an end, and while that may mean lower-humidity, don’t put your fans away yet. While many of you may travel away from the Lowcountry and stay busy with children who are out of school during the summer, our staff stays focused on the execution of HCF’s Strategic Plan in three key areas: Preservation, Advocacy, and Museums (P.A.M.)

In the summer of 2024, HCF teamed up with the Preservation Society of Charleston to research, develop, write, and present an Area Character Appraisal (ACA) for the North Central neighborhood on Charleston's peninsula. In a full-circle moment, co-author, Madelyn Reber, presented their work at BAR-Small.

While the John Gough Linen Press is on loan to the DAR Museum in Washington DC, the Nathaniel Russell House Museum will have three models on display including a model of the Bennett Rice Mill following Hurricane Donna.
