Grant success! Congratulations to McDuffie County on the award of a $750,000 grant for the rehabilitation of the historic Rock House!

The award comes on the heels of significant time, planning, and investment from the County and the community to craft a vision for the reuse of the house and surrounding site, including tackling an adjacent road realignment. In 2022, Ethos completed a Master Site Plan for the property, outlining nine goals in keeping with preservation best practice.

Here's to all that is to come!

Today, we’re celebrating Rebecca Fenwick, Principal of Ethos Preservation! 🎉

Rebecca is a dedicated preservationist, strong leader, and tireless advocate for historic places and the communities that care for them. She is determined, knowledgeable, and always committed to doing the best work possible.

She has also had a busy year! Rebecca recently led the effort on multiple grant applications she wrote that were awarded funding! 🎉 It’s a great example of her ability to turn preservation goals into real opportunities for the communities and projects we work with.

We’re grateful for her leadership and everything she brings to Ethos.

Help us wish Rebecca a very happy birthday! 🥂💛

A night celebrating the people who make historic preservation happen! ✨

Ethos was thrilled to join friends, colleagues, and fellow preservation professionals at the Historic Savannah Foundation Gala this past Saturday. It was a wonderful evening filled with good conversations, new connections, and plenty of reminders of why we love the work we do.

Here’s to preserving places, building partnerships, and keeping Savannah’s history alive. 🏛️💛

🎉 Historic places have stories. Kiersten Connor has a few of her own. 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Kiersten—preservationist, problem-solver, project wrangler, community champion, and the person who sees problems as mere challenges. 😉

At Ethos, we’re lucky to have someone who brings curiosity, creativity, thoughtfulness, and a whole lot of heart to the work. Whether she’s digging into the details of a historic place or helping move a project forward, Kiersten reminds us that preservation is ultimately about people and the places that connect us.

So today, we’re raising a metaphorical glass (and perhaps an actual one 🥂) to you, Kiersten!

May your birthday be full of good people, beautiful places, big laughs, and absolutely no surprise RFP deadlines.

Happy Birthday, Kiersten! 💛
We’re so glad you’re part of the Ethos story.

After the Martin Theater in Douglas, Georgia experienced water damage during Hurricane Helene, a National Park Service emergency grant was sought to fund repairs.

Necessitating compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, Ethos is working with Arcollab and Garbutt Construction Company to get the job done.
