Spotlight Tour: The Architecture of Service Spaces

The curator of architecture for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation for thirty-five years, Willie Graham now consults on a variety of public and private historic building projects in the United States, the Caribbean and Great Britain, including Cliveden.

With specializations in building analysis and recording, restoration and reconstruction, Graham has been integral in the evolution of professional standards in preservation fields, creating a new model of building analysis used widely by many museums. He also convened a conference to establish standards for dendrochronological analysis of historic buildings; has proposed protocols for architectural finish analysis to an international body of architectural paint researches; and developed new procedures for applying mortar and plaster analysis to building investigations. Graham has written extensively on traditional building construction and is an accomplished architectural photographer.
