🚨🏛️✨ | Celebrating 100 Years of History Through Adaptive Reuse ✨🏛️🚨

Fresh off our recent preservation spotlight, we're excited to share another outstanding event highlighting the power of historic preservation and adaptive reuse.

The evening will explore how thoughtful restoration preserves stories, strengthens communities, and breathes new life into historic buildings.

We're especially proud that AIA St. Louis Social Media Consultant David Charles will serve as moderator for the panel discussion, joined by an incredible lineup of preservation and design leaders including Shaun Dodson (Trivers), Vivian Gibson, Andy Hahn, and Stuart Keating.
