HISTORIC
ARCHITECT
Charles
A. Phillips, noted historic
architect and conservator based in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina,
continues investigations on the Administration Building. By carefully examining the
layers of interior structure within the Main Building, Phillips teases out details of historic significance and change in
the past. Through this “interrogation”
process, he will be able to determine much of the original 1882 design and
usage of each room within the building.
This information combined with photographs and paint analyses will be
used to create a structural history of the site, known as an historic
structures report. The report will serve
as a permanent record of what once was, as materials are removed for the restoration
of the building.
Phillips, an
historical architect and conservator, founded the firm of Charles A. Phillips
in 1999 to be able to focus on his strengths of historical research and
development of conservation methods. Based in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina,
the firm specializes in the research, conservation, restoration and
retrofitting of historic buildings as well as the design of new architecture
for construction within an historic context.
Of interest to
the Lexington community, Phillips has been extensively involved
with the John Pope House on Grosvenor Street for the past 10 years. This
home is one the last remaining designs of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who designed
the National Capital Building in Washington, D.C., the first part of the 19th Century.
The
Center for Historic Architecture & Preservation is located within the College of Architecture at UK. The Center
supports the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, and serves as a
research and advocacy agency for the causes of historic preservation in Kentucky and elsewhere.
The Center also works closely with the Kentucky Heritage Council, and
many other local and national organizations in the study of historic
architecture and practice of historic preservation.
During
the course of the project, the Center will coordinate interaction between the
building, historic preservation, and architecture students. Several instructors for the Masters in
Historic Preservation program have incorporated the building into their class studies,
and this will continue onwards. In
addition, Capital Projects Management Division contracts with the Center for
the production of this website.
