About

As an independent architectural historian, I have researched, written and published articles on the English stained glass designer Henry Holiday, the architect Frank Furness, and the development of the artistic attached house. My articles have been published in Architectural History, The Journal of Stained Glass, Common Bond, and The Germantown Crier. I have also presented my research through lectures and conferences for local and national groups. I have given lectures for the Society of Architectural Historians, The Victorian Society of America, The New York Landmarks Conservancy, The American Glass Guild and the Chestnut Hill Conservancy.
