We are creating a public library for the 21st century. This will include an addition to the building  -  a modern addition on an historic structure.  Please join us to hear our architects talk about how the two parts will integrate and reflect each other. First, Earle Shettleworth, former State Historian and the longest-serving director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, will place the architecture of the Jesup in its historic context. Then, Pamela Hawkes, Principal at Scattergood Design and a Professor of Practice in Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, will talk about researching our Historic Preservation Plan and will highlight some of its special features. Finally, Scott Simons, Principal at Scott Simons Architects, will demonstrate how the modern plan speaks for itself but also enhances the Jesup building. The talk will be moderated by Sargent Gardiner, a partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects.
