Free Work Shop from the Preservation Resource Center
I was contacted today by the Preservation Resource Center. They are providing a free workshop on buying and fixing up historic homes. Makes you want to buy a historic home in the Bywater to live closer to your pastor, uh?
So here’s the information:
PRC Great Neighborhood Sellabration
Date: Saturday, March 20, 2010
Time: 10:00am-2:00pm
Place: The Preservation Resource Center, 923 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
The Great Neighborhood Sellabration is The Preservation Resource Center ’s (PRC) citywide marketed event to help the community educate homebuyers on why they should buy properties in historic New Orleans neighborhoods and why now is the time to buy. This event gives prospective homebuyers all the information they need in one festive environment. Neighborhood Associations will be present to promote their neighborhoods, as will local service providers (Realtors, Lenders and Insurance agents) who can share their knowledge and assist those with questions about buying a historic home. The event will feature homebuyer presentations, informational booths, workshops, a keynote speaker, food and fun. It is free and open to the public.
Workshop Schedule:
Buy Right: 10:00-10:30
Finance Right 10:45-11:15
Renovate Right 11:30-12:00
Keynote Speaker:
Richard Campanella, Historic and present patterns of settlement in New Orleans: 12:15pm-1:15pm
“Neighborhoods are changing post-Hurricane Katrina,” said Campanella, “and I’ll be discussing the emergence, character, and present-day perceptions of New Orleans neighborhoods and how they fit into the human geography of the city.”
Tulane geographer Richard Campanella researches, maps, and writes about the historical geography of New Orleans, an interest that has produced four critically acclaimed books, including Geographies of New Orleans and Bienvilles’ Dilemma. Campanella’s research has won multiple “Book of the Year” awards from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and New Orleans-Gulf South Booksellers Association, as well as critical reviews in the Journal of Southern History, Urban History, Louisiana History, Places Journal, and Bloomsbury Review.
