Ever wondered where the phrase ‘daylight robbery’ came from? 🔨💡 Our property is a classic example! After the war, the government was short on cash and introduced a window tax. Many windows were bricked up to avoid paying it — reducing natural light and leading to the phrase "daylight robbery." This is exactly what has happened in our Victroian property. We'll restore this window by removing the brickwork to add more natural light to this amazing period property. It’s all about preserving the property's heritage whilst adding value. What’s the strangest thing have you uncovered in period properties? #PropertyRenovation #History #VictorianArchitecture #RenovationProject

If trees could talk the history some would tell. Learning from past city planning and urban forest management efforts can help us today plan for more sustainable urban forests and cities. “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Take the time to learn with and from your community to manage and grow sustainable urban forests and partnerships into the future.
Three years ago urban forester John Kilcullen gave us the wildly popular "Trees and Homes of Staten Island: Then and Now" for City Trees. The historical images are tax photos from 1940. The architectural and historical notes merge with the tree histories in the most satisfying way! https://lnkd.in/eXFuYpSa Rachel Habig-Myers Earl Eutsler Darren Green Michael (Mike) Martini

As historic preservationists we connect people to the past, specifically through physical spaces. Voting allows people to engage with physical spaces in ways they would not normally, so let's seize the opportunity to encourage people to learn the history of the space they are voting in - while they make history. Please, share the history of your polling place and advocate for people to get out and vote. In 2020, I asked people to share the history of their polling place > learn more about this campaign and some history via my article for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
