For the past 3 years Mr. Tabachnick has been in the public federal sector\, working for the Federal Transit Administration and now with the Surface Transportation Board in Washington\, DC. He is a Historic Preservation Specialist\, leading Section 106 efforts for the agency on freight rail projects across the country. \nCristiana Pena (class of 2008) has created a space for herself at the intersection of preservation and digital strategy.

Prior to 2016\, Marissa spent nine years in the office of the award-winning Manhattan-based firm\, BKSK Architects\, as its marketing director and in-house preservation specialist. The firm is well known for its design work in historic districts. Additionally\, she was a longtime board member for DOCOMOMO NY/Tri-State and the Historic Districts Council\, and she served as the vice chair of the City of Kingston Historic Landmarks Preservation Commission. \nRyan Walsh (Class of 2013) teaches at Mather High School\, a NYC public school whose mission is to prepare students for both college and career paths in the building and landscaping trades\, all through the lense of historic preservation. Ryan worked in partnership with the National Parks Service to develop the curriculum for an introductory course in historic preservation and originate work-based learning opportunities for students. Before Mather\, Ryan worked for The Landmarks Preservation Commission and as an educator at the Woolworth Building. Ryan has Bachelors of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University and a Masters in Historic Preservation from Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Fall Party 2019: Fireboat John J. Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Please join your fellow Preservation Alumni for the annual Fall Party on Thursday\, September 19th on the historic Fireboat John J. Harvey. Enjoy food and drinks while reconnecting with your fellow HP alum and welcoming the new class of preservationists. In addition\, the recipient of the 2019 Cleo and James Marston Fitch Prize will be announced. The boat will depart Pier 66 at 6:30PM for a lovely evening boat ride around Manhattan. Please be sure you’re on board by 6:15PM to join us! \nWe are thrilled to host our party on the Fireboat John J. Harvey. Fireboat John J. Harvey\, launched in 1931\, served the City of New York and New York Harbor until she retired in 1994.  She was a historic first; the first fireboat powered by internal combustion engines\, the first that could pump and maneuver simultaneously\, and was the largest\, fastest fire fighting machine of her time\, capable of pumping 18\,000 gallons per minute. \nIn 1931 much was added to the New York scene\, including John J. Harvey. She is in good company and shares a birthday with notable contemporaries like the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge. To this day\, she is the harbor’s fastest big fireboat and remains the senior in longevity. Saved from the scrap yard by a dedicated group of volunteers she is now moored at Pier 66 Maritime\, at 26th St. and the Hudson River alongside the Frying Pan restaurant and the lightship Frying Pan.  The fireboat now serves as an operational museum and education center\, offering free public trips to New Yorkers and visitors.

SUMMARY:Members Only Tour: Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 28th for a tour of the magnificent Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House\, located in Irvington\, NY. The Octagon House is the only known fully domed\, octagonal residence and the only house built in the form of an ancient classical temple in the United States. The home was built in the 1860s by Paul J. Armour\, but New York City tea merchant Joseph Stiner added the dome and verandah to create the elaborate Roman-style temple.\nThe house was briefly owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1976 but was ultimately resold in 1978 to a private citizen. Joseph Pell Lombardi (HP class of 1983)\, the owner\, is a preservation architect specializing in conservation\, restoration and historic preservation throughout the world. Under the direction of Lombardi’s son\, Michael Hall Lombardi has managed\, researched and performed restoration work throughout the house\, including the Egyptian Revival Room\, Basement\, Kitchen\, Greenhouse & Studio and much of the decorative surfaces. \nThe house and grounds have been restored to their 1872 appearance. The interior of the house\, its decoration and its 1870s furnishings are the best display in the country of the American neo-Roman style\, popular for a brief period in the third quarter of the 19th century. Under the guidance of Michael Hall Lombardi\, the only domestic Egyptian Revival room still in existence with its original 19th century furnishings and decoration has been reinstated. The house has been the subject of numerous articles and awards. \nThe tour is open to current students and alumni. Members will meet at Grand Central at 9:45am to take the 10:07am train from Grand Central to Ardsley-on-Hudson. Tours will begin at 11.30am. The first tour will take place from 11:30-12:30 and the second tour will take place from 12:30-1:30. While the first tour is taking place\, the other half of the group can enjoy light refreshments and appetizers/snacks on the porch and see the grounds. Then the groups will switch and the second group will tour\, while the first group enjoys the grounds and refreshments. We will return on the 2:14pm train back to Grand Central. \nPlease email us at info@preservationalumni.org if you plan on driving and we can coordinate parking.

SUMMARY:Historic Preservation Program Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Preservation Open House welcomes admitted students to campus (class entering Fall 2019) and gives them the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the HP program.  Admitted students will hear from program leadership\, receive tours of the labs and the facilities\, and learn about studio and thesis requirements among other things. \nThe program also includes a luncheon in Low Library\, which gives admitted students the opportunity to interact with alumni\, current students\, and faculty. It is often the connections that admitted students make with other members of our community that make them more comfortable and confident in their choice to enroll at GSAPP. The insight\, experience and interaction with alumni is a valuable experience that can help them make an informed decision about the program and offerings. \nAlumni are invited to attend the lunch portion of the day from 12:30-1:30pm to meet and mingle with admitted students\, and are kindly asked to RSVP.

SUMMARY:Members Tour: Great Hall\, New York Hall of Science
DESCRIPTION:** MEET AT 10AM AT THE ADMISSIONS DESK (map here)** \nWe’re excited to announce our upcoming members-only tour of the iconic Great Hall at the New York Hall of Science! Join us on Sunday\, December 9th at 10am for a tour with conservator\, James Marston Fitch fellow\, and HP alum Laura Buchner.

Designed by Wallace K. Harrison\, the Great Hall has undulating walls composed of dalle de verre (also known as faceted glass) that rise 90-feet tall. In 2015\, a major restoration of the Great Hall was completed by Ennead Architects\, with Building Conservation Associates acting as the conservation consultants throughout the exterior and interior restoration\, developing restoration treatments through extensive field and laboratory testing. \nLaura Buchner\, senior conservator at BCA\, was recently awarded the 2018 James Marston Fitch Mid-Career Fellowship for her proposal “The Luminous Dalle de Verre of Gabriel Loire: The Fabrication\, Deterioration\, and Conservation of Faceted Glass.” She was involved in work on the Great Hall from 2005 throughout 2015. In 2017\, she was involved in the study of Harrison’s other famous dalle de verre facade at the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford\, Connecticut.
