In 1934, historian Evelyn Whitfield Henry captured a vanishing world in her article “Old Houses of Tallahassee,” documenting the architectural heritage of a city already looking back on its past.<\/p>\n
Nearly a century later, her work serves as a haunting time capsule.
Of the numerous properties she recorded, only 13 survive today.<\/p>\n
This presentation traces the dramatic transformation of Tallahassee’s built environment, unraveling the stories behind these losses.<\/p>\n
We will explore how urban development, government expansion, and changing priorities reshaped our city, erasing entire neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
Through historic photographs, maps, and poignant case studies, we will examine what was lost, celebrate what was saved, and discuss how we can champion the preservation of Tallahassee’s remaining historic fabric for the next 100 years.<\/p>\n
This lecture will be presented by Casey Bogart, with the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation.<\/p>\n
Enjoy a glass of wine as we explore Tallahassee’s past, and learn about the Trust’s work to ensure historic resources remain for Tallahassee’s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 1934, historian Evelyn Whitfield Henry captured a vanishing world in her article “Old Houses of Tallahassee,” documenting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-30098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
