Diana S. Waite Author Talk: The Architecture of Downtown Troy

On Thursday, February 11, we welcomed Diana S. Waite to share some highlights about her book The Architecture of Downtown Troy: An Illustrated History. This gorgeous publication was over a decade in the making and was a recipient of one of the League’s Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards in 2020. After her presentation she was joined in conversation by Kathy Sheehan, registrar of the Hart Cluett Museum and the Troy City and Rensselaer County historian. Diana and Kathy worked closely while Diana completed her research for this book. Click below to watch a recording of this Preservation Book Club event!
