Kevin Murphy Among Architectural Historians Remembering America’s Lost Buildings

Posted by on Friday, September 1, 2017 in HART, VRC.

The Conversation, “Remembering America’s Lost Buildings” (August 31, 2017) on historic preservation:   Unfortunately, all cannot be salvaged. Preservation efforts must be galvanized; they require mobilization, time and resources. We reached out to five architecture professors and posed the following question: What’s one American structure you wish had been saved?

While their responses vary – from an unassuming home nestled in the suburbs of Boston to a monument of 19th-century wealth and glamour – none of the structures could resist the tides of decay, development and discrimination. . . . Read more in The Conversation, including Kevin Murphy’s article on the Rachel Raymond House, Belmont, Massachusetts.  Murphy is Andrew W. Mellon Chair in the Humanities and professor/chair of the History of Art department.
