To view the presentation starting Monday, register at History Conversations.
“An Exploration of Historic Ag Reserve Homes from the 1936 Historic American Buildings Survey” will be led by historian Kenny Sholes. The original main project became known as the “HABS Report.”
Guided by field instructions from Washington, D.C., the first HABS recorders were tasked with documenting a representative sampling of America’s architectural heritage. Fortunately, many of the historic homes in what later became Montgomery County’s land now known as the “Agricultural Reserve” were documented.
The presentation will include photos of the oldest homes of some of the structures.
The discussion was originally presented at Montgomery History’s Fall 2023 Conference.
