Historic Structures Reports: A Management Tool for Historic Properties
Faculty
Alfonso A. Narvaez, senior associate and principal architectural conservator with the Preservation Technology Group at John Milner Associates, Inc. with experience on preservation projects nationwide; formerly with the National Park Service
Seminar Overview
The core of any historic property management program is accurate information about the building. This seminar will explore the historic structures report—the principal tool used to document a site's history, condition, and maintenance—and emerging technologies, such as computer-aided facilities management programs.
This seminar is combined or offered in conjunction with Preservation Maintenance: Understanding and Preserving Historic Buildings.
Evaluation Comments
"[I learned] that an HSR is a process; not a document."
"The seminar set out in detail the players and process of preparing an HSR."
"The instructor is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to address the issues in a logical sequence and provide examples to clarify and illustrate."
"[I gained] understanding/learning HSR as a key tool for managing facility repair/renovations, especially for the Section 106 process."
"[The seminar] provided
me with information needed for contracting a consultant to provide an HSR and
the different ways by which an HSR would be effective tool and basis for reaching
decisions concerning the treatment of historic structures."
Participants
Preservation architects; managers of historic properties and facilities; historians; others planning for or writing HSRs.
