She is a Senior Associate with Higgins Quasebarth & Partners and has previously worked in both the private and public sectors in Philadelphia, New York City—including with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Vieux Carre Commission in her hometown of New Orleans. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and Art History from the Honors College at Louisiana State University and a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation.Asked what her favorite projects have been: "Two favorites - being charged with the care of the French Quarter was very personal for me, touching on my home-grown love for history, architecture, and preservation. And on the flip side of scale, Rockefeller Center in New York. With eight years and counting working as Landmarks consultant for the Center, my favorite New York landmark, it feels like a family member, and it's been an honor to be part of the landmark's life." Sarah's expertise and commitment to preservation make her a wonderful addition to our Board as we continue our mission to protect historic spaces in perpetuity across Metro Atlanta. ...

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted last Friday to relax the current Section 106 regulations that were passed by Congress in 1966 as part of the National Historic Preservation Act. The gist of the regulations provide review and public consultation for any historic properties listed or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and that may be affected by projects that utilize any federal funding: road projects and cell phone towers associated with the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Communications Commission, respectively, have been the two with which we’ve been most involved (but there are many more).The proposed changes will remove the ability for us (us = you, me, tribal nations, state preservation offices, other concerned parties) to participate in these reviews and provide PUBLIC comment. The photos included in this post are properties in our portfolio that were flagged for proposed projects utilizing federal monies and for which we were able to submit meaningful public comment through the Section 106 process.

It’s Historic Preservation Month! While the preservation community had a major set back with Gov. Kemp’s recent veto of HB 376 (which would have raised the cap on available Historic Tax Credits further incentivizing preservation efforts), there are many other preservation wins to celebrate. Easements Altanta continues stewarding our 51 protected properties with more in the pipeline. Stay tuned as we look forward to sharing the stories behind the most recent additions to our portfolio. One of our parent organizations, @preserveatl and Executive Director David Yoakley Mitchell continue to work tirelessly to advocate for our historic resources. From raising preservation awareness by spearheading a proclamation from the Atlanta City Council recognizing May as Historic Preservation Month to advocating for the successful NRHP listing of South View Cemetery, perseverance prevails.Also, check out our friends @thegeorigatrust and their advocacy efforts as well as the recent award recipients for many outstanding preservation projects in the state.Hard work, dedication, and goodness abounds!📸 credits: @preserveatl and @thegeorgiatrust#historicpreservation#adaptiveuse #southviewcemetery ...
