Tulane Students Preserving a Historic Tomb

The Tulane School of Architecture's Preservation Studies Program, in concert with the Preservation Trades Network, operates the 2009 Preservation Studies Summer Field School. In one course, students learn via field work historically appropriate treatments for 19th century above-ground tombs. Students work under the tutelage of master craftsmen to learn about lime-based building technology in plaster, mortar, limewash and masonry applications.

The field school is sponsored by the 1772 Foundation, World Monuments Fund, National Center for Preservation Technology and Training, Save Our Cemeteries, Louisiana Landmarks Society, The American Institute of Architects (AIA), AIA New Orleans, Preservation Trades Network and Tulane University School of Architecture.
