Last week, first year students completed their Neighborhood Character Assessments for the American Architecture course!

Students were assigned historic neighborhoods around the peninsula and captured photos to reference for observations of height, scale, mass, form, style, function, and landscape use. Students worked in Harleston Village, Cannonborough/Elliotborough, South of Broad, Ansonborough, and Wagener Terrace!

The Clemson MSHP Program is happy to announce that first year student Annalise Edwards has accepted a fall internship to assist in completion of the Area Character Appraisal for Charleston’s Eastside neighborhood.

Supported by the Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation, and in partnership with the Preservation Society of Charleston, Annalise will be conducting field survey documentation, archival research, meta data analysis, organization and entry of survey data, as well as GIS mapping.

Annalise comes from Las Cruces, NM and recently graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Classical & Mediterranean Studies from Vanderbilt University. Her previous experience includes working as an archival assistant at Vanderbilt’s History of Medicine Collection for four years, and researching the synthesis of historic Anishinaabe rock art with Vanderbilt Chemistry’s Macdonald Lab. As a recent transplant to the area, she is elated to be living in Charleston and is ready to dive into its local history.

Congratulations Annalise!
