A House Restored: A Conversation on Saving a New England Colonial
12th Annual Sally Lanagan Forum
October 22, 2024 at 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Architectural Conservator and author, Lee McColgan, joins us for a conversation on his journey saving the ramshackle Loring House in Pembroke, Massachusetts, built in 1702, using period materials and methods and on a holiday deadline. Trading the corporate ladder for a stepladder, Lee dives into the unexpected challenges of restoring a New England Colonial using period techniques – while living in it with his wife. Lee McColgan’s journey expertly examines our relationship to history through the homes we inhabit, beautifully articulating the philosophy of preserving the past to find purpose for the future.
