Rooms with a View: Historic windows workshop The speaker, Natalie Henshaw, has a Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in History, and earned her AAS in Historic Preservation and Restoration from Savannah Technical College. She taught historic preservation classes at Lamar Community College and returned to teach at Savannah Technical College. She's worked with various non-profits, federal, and state agencies across the country on preservation projects. We will be learning all about historic windows. We will meet on site, and start by discussing what tools, materials, and safety equipment we will be using. Then, we will be removing a window from its frame, discussing its parts, and repairing and cleaning any damage. Finally, We will learn how to hang the window back into its original frame. Historic Macon Foundation (HMF) is a national leader in preservation and a role model for revitalization efforts throughout the country. Our innovative real estate tactics, state and federal tax credit consulting services, advocacy efforts with our Fading Five list of endangered places, educational programing, and low interest loan programs allow Historic Macon to transform our community and demonstrate the powerful impact of saving historic places. We've completed nearly 150 houses and kept 25,000 tons of debris out of the landfill. Just since 2014 we've attracted $5.8M in investments in our target neighborhood, Beall's Hill. Our work allows citizens to take preservation into their own hands. With the help of our community, we are proving that Macon is Preservation.
