I’m a graduate of the University of Florida’s historic preservation master’s degree program. I also have a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UF.
I began this blog in May 2009 to chronicle the summer I spent on Nantucket. Now I write about heritage sites I have visited or historic preservation issues I find interesting. As you can see, most of my travels are focused on Florida and South Carolina, which I visit often.

I am surprised we have not crossed paths. I have been researching and photographing Chert Houses for several years but only have about 110. Let’s get together.
My husband & I own a chert house and fell in love with the architectural features of this home. We are concerned that very large commercial structure has plans to build within 100 feet from us. Have you done any work with the impact of new construction and it’s affects on nearby chert houses and their structural stability?
