🏛️ Restoration & Preservation: Stories of Renewal in Small-Town South Carolina

Historic architecture, community grit, and small-town revitalization are recurring themes in my work. These feature stories, published in The Press & Banner, spotlight the care and character poured into restoring homes, landmarks, and entire downtowns in western South Carolina.

I reported, wrote, photographed, and designed the print layouts for each of these pieces.

Included in this series:

• 🏠 Ongoing Restoration at the Generals’ House — A Victorian landmark tied to Civil War history and local lore

• 🧱 Restoring Abbeville — A slate-roofed treasure and the people fighting to preserve it

• 📚 Willington on the Way — A town-wide revival led by residents determined to bring back their cultural identity
