Donovan Rypkema will give the 2009 “Fenwick Lecture” of the Louisville Historical League. The title of his talk is: “Historic Preservation: The Core of Sustainable Development".
Mr. Rypkema is principal of PlaceEconomics, a Washington, D.C.-based real estate and economic development-consulting firm. The firm specializes in services to public and non-profit sector clients who are dealing with downtown and neighborhood commercial district revitalization and the reuse of historic structures.
Mr. Rypkema’s book, The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leader’s Guide, was published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2005 and is widely used by preservationists nationwide. Today Mr. Rypkema is recognized as an industry leader in the economics of preserving historic structures. Since 1983 he has provided ongoing consulting services to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and its National Main Street Center.
This event is free and open to the general public.
The Fenwick Lecture in Historic Preservation was established in memory of the late Jason M. Fenwick. Jason Fenwick was a native of Mississippi but he spent much of his adult life in Kentucky where he joined the Kentucky Heritage Council as an archaeologist in 1977. There he conducted countywide archaeological surveys before transferring to the Restoration Grants Program where he became increasingly interested in historic buildings and their preservation and restoration.
From late 1981 through 1983, Mr. Fenwick served as state curator and coordinated the restoration and rehabilitation of the Kentucky Executive Mansion for Governor John Y. Brown and First Lady Phyllis George Brown. Between 1984 and 1987, he served as preservation specialist for Kentucky Heritage Council. He also served on the City of Louisville Landmarks Commission.
At the time of his death, Jason Fenwick was an architectural historian with the historic rehabilitation tax credit program for the National Park Service in Washington, D.C.
