Professor Emeritus
The historic built environment is my passion and my academic research area. Historic architectural documents of our past surround us; all we need do is figure out how to read them. The vernacular landscape reveals culture and society as surely as our carefully archived print and manuscript collections do.
My research focuses on the built environment of the Early American Republic. I am fascinated by the intersections of archtecture, technology, economics, society, and politics in that period when Americans began to self-consciously shape the landscape of their new nation.
