Preservation students produce masonry conservation handbook

April 23, 2014

Historic Preservation Program students at UO have produced a handbook on conserving historic masonry. The students of Adjunct Professor Lauren Allsopp spent twelve weeks analyzing masonry structures of all kinds in Cottage Grove, Oregon, whose Main Street is a classic example of a late Victorian town. The handbook, which offers recommendations for building owners, is available for free online. The publication is an “excellent example of extending valuable course work into the public sector,” says Historic Preservation Program Director Kingston Heath.
