 CRS President Selected as Visiting Scholar in Rome
The Cleveland Restoration Society is pleased to announce that its president, Kathleen H. Crowther, has been selected as a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy in Rome (Italy). Ms. Crowther is spending five weeks in the "Eternal City" observing its ancient monuments, churches and city plan designs to make correlations with Cleveland's architectural and city planning legacy. The American Academy in Rome provides residency support for artists and scholars conducting independent studies in the fine arts and humanities. After her time in Rome, Ms. Crowther will be visiting additional historic sites in Italy before returning to Cleveland. Once she has returned, CRS will offer a program for members about her work in Italy. Stay tuned for more details!

Comment on New Federal Guidelines for School Siting
In November, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a draft of the voluntary federal guidelines for siting schools. Now the EPA wants to hear from people like you-folks who care about the well-being of their communities - and your comments on their proposed guidance around the complex decision-making process of where to locate schools in a healthy and safe manner. These guidelines will directly affect efforts to preserve or renovate historic schools and will impact the reuse of older buildings for educational purposes. This is an excellent opportunity to do something and let your voice be heard! The National Trust has created a wonderful online starting point. If you are interested in learning more, click here. |
