Historic Preservation

A [dwelling’s] narrative is best characterized by Beauty and Order and with integrity and significance. The sum of this narrative requires respect. And respect is Love. And Love is Divine.

—Kimberly B. Gray

Finally, after many serendipitous happenings over the past month, my YouTube Channel @Kimberly B. Gray is now published! My first Vlog features the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Please click on this link to view:

Everyone who knows me knows how much I delight in older dwellings and structures. This definition of Historic Preservation could not be more perfect . . .

Historic preservation is often linked, hand in hand, with ideas of placemaking, where preservationists embed their work in a neighborhood, community, or landscape to highlight what makes that place unique and preserve its character.In doing this work, preservationists make evaluations about a place’s beauty, integrity, and significance.

Thank you for watching. Please join me later in the month of July for Part II featuring the Interior Design and Spirituality of the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica.
