Preservation Manager:
James Tegeder

James is an architectural historian who lives in Rye New Hampshire
with his family and assorted farm animals.  He is interested in old
buildings, structures, and landscapes and how they fit into our cultural
narrative.

“When a building or landscape is endangered, it is up to us to determine if a
building tells an important part of our story. If it does, either on its own, or in
context to its neighbors- then someone must speak up for it. Because
buildings are not just utilitarian places where we live and work, they embody
the stories, intentions, and voices of our past. If we listen to them, they can
guide us into the future.”
