Architectural Historians, Graduate Students, Architects, Preservation Officers, Landscape Historians and Landscape Architects are invited to submit proposals for SAH study tours and study days to be presented in 2013 and 2014. Proposals of all types are welcome. The proposals will be reviewed and selected by the SAH Study Tour Advisory Committee and Officers of SAH with an eye toward creating a tour schedule that is both balanced and diverse in subject, time periods, and geographic coverage.

Join SAH on Thursday, February 23 at 6:00 p.m. for a presentation on the urban archeological dig that took place during Summer 2010 on the Charnley-Persky House property. Led by Rebecca Graff, the dig was a five-week class for anthropology students at DePaul University. In this lecture, Graff will give an overview of the archaeological project and discuss how the findings speak to the history of the Gold Coast, particularly to the consumer choices choices of the time. Many of the artifacts will be on display for guests to view.

SAH has created a new class of membership, Professional Associates, to serve design and preservation professionals – Architectural firms, Historic Preservation Offices, Landmark Commissions and Design Education organizations.
