The Falmouth Field School in Historic Preservation, directed by Louis Nelson, Assistant Professor of Architectural History, has received a $10,000 grant from Falmouth Heritage Renewal and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation to partially fund six graduate students’ participation this summer. The field school is a three-week, three-credit program in applied historic preservation held on-site in Falmouth, Jamaica (July 17 – August 7, 2006). Students will learn a variety of skills, ranging from the conservation of historic brick masonry and timber framing, to recording threatened buildings through detailed measured drawings, to learning how to “read” the historic fabric of a building.
