Revisit Banking on Preservation: Architectural Landmarks
Hillside Theater | Taliesin, Spring Green | October 23 | 9:00 - 5:00pm
We’re grateful to those that were able to gather at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hillside Theater for a full-day educational workshop exploring the future of Wisconsin’s historic bank buildings.
The purpose of this workshop, like the other WTHP workshops, was to bring together a variety of preservation-minded people who can share knowledge and success stories with others and continue to make Wisconsin one of the best states for architectural heritage stewardship.
Local, state, and national organizations came together to offer the latest information on a variety of cutting-edge issues. All of them related to the struggles that owners, developers, architects, contractors, craftsmen, city officials, and others have with these important landmarks.
Contact info@wipreservation.org with any questions.
