About the Company
Southeast Preservation specializes in the research and assessment of historic buildings and sites. This includes investigation of physical characteristics and material properties as well as history and contextual significance.
The mission of Southeast Preservation is to provide exceptional architectural conservation and preservation services to individuals and organizations in Louisiana and the southeastern United States. As part of this mission, Southeast Preservation endeavors to use flexibility, creativity, and careful planning to make these services accessible to a wide range of clients who reflect the great variety of our architectural heritage. In conjunction with providing these services, it is a primary goal of Southeast Preservation to spread the understanding of our built heritage through public education.
Behind this mission is the belief that people are deeply affected by their built environment and that our historic structures are imbued with qualities that positively affect us both subconsciously through site and touch, and rationally, by the lessons they teach and the stories they tell. Therefore, Southeast Preservation is dedicated to the history, craft, and science of our built environment.
