New England
Landscape Design and History Association (NELDHA) and The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR) are pleased to collaborate on a Preservation Seminar that focuses on
the Casino restoration at the Country Place Era Estate at Castle Hill in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The seminar is on November 14, 2014, at the
Great House at Castle Hill from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

 

Join us for an in
depth program in the Great House with TTOR staff and other professionals who
will explain the issues, process and decision making involved. TTOR Northeast
Region’s Operations Manager Robert Murray will lead a tour of the restored
Casino. After lunch, a distinguished panel will answer questions and discuss
issues with a particular emphasis on hardscape, ornamentation and adaptive reuse
of this incredible space. The panelists include Robert Murray; Lucinda
Brockway, TTOR Program Director for Cultural
Resources; James
Younger, AIA, LEED AP, TTOR Director of Structural Resources and Technology; Susan Hill Dolan, TTOR  Curator and Cultural Resources Specialist for the
Northeast Region; Robert Levitre

Marion Pressley, FASLA.

 

In 2014, TTOR
continued the restoration of the grounds at Castle Hill, a National Historic
Landmark. This year, 99 years after its creation, the crumbling Casino—the
epitome of a Country Place Era estate feature for entertainment and leisure—was
restored. The casino was designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival style by
landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff, in collaboration with the Boston
architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, 1914 - 1915.
 Although sited on the fabulous grand
allee, it is elegantly hidden within the iconic view from the Great House. The
Casino predates the existing Great House designed by David Adler, 1924 - 1928.  For this project, TTOR used original
documentation and materials wherever possible.

 

The
seminar is $70 for NELDHA members, TTOR members and current students, and $85 for
non-members.  We are offering an early registration
discount of $10 for registrations received before October 14, 2014. The Registration
& Refund Deadline is November 8, 2014. Space is limited.
