Architectural Preservation Studio, DPC is a women-owned design professional-service corporation founded by a collaboration of architects, preservationists, and material conservators. We are one of the nation’s leaders in historic preservation, with advanced expertise in building conservation technologies, architectural restoration, and exterior envelope repairs. The professional staff of the studio has been involved in some of the most important preservation projects of the last two decades, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater, the historic Breakers and Château-sur-Mer mansions in Newport, RI and Louis Sullivan’s Bayard-Condict building in NYC. Additional projects include theaters, academic structures, courthouses, museums and other iconic structures. We are a certified WBE in the City of New York, the State of New York, The Port Authority of NY & NJ, and with the WBENC. Our evolution: Founded in 1889 in St. Paul, MN, the architectural firm, Reed & Stem, moved to NYC in 1903 upon winning the competition to design Grand Central Terminal. Later known as Fellheimer & Wagner, then as Wank Adams Slavin Associates (WASA), the preservation group was founded in 1979 as a department of the WASA architecture and engineering firm. Now known as Architectural Preservation Studio, DPC, we established ourselves as a separate firm in 2015, dedicated to the preservation of historic and contemporary buildings.

With another museum professional, Michelle Henry implemented a training program for a consortium of seven small historical museums in Chautauqua County. With $26,000 in grant funds, she offered collection management instruction, policy development, and hands-on training in accessioning, cataloging, collection storage and preservation, and Past Perfect software. Archival supplies, environmental monitoring equipment, software and shelving were purchased and we worked along side the consortium members to develop/improve storage areas, rehouse collections, and improve collection management practices. This project is ongoing and has proven to be very beneficial to participating museums.

• Collection Storage Solutions
• Fossils

I have been at the American Museum of Natural History since 1990 and I am currently a Senior Scientific Assistant taking care of the world’s largest collection of dinosaur fossils plus early synapsids and tetrapods, pterosaurs, crocodiles, turtles and marine reptiles. I’m interested in all aspects of paleontology, especially the fringe areas that normally get little attention, including bizarre modes of fossil preservation, anomalous discoveries, and oddities within the history of paleontology. I collect fossils of all kinds, globally, and have written or edited a number of pieces on fossils, both scholarly and popular. In my spare time (aside from fossils) my interests include linguistics, lettering, wordplay, and food in all of its various forms.
