Cultural Resources

Our architectural historians and historians have surveyed, documented, and evaluated thousands of buildings, sites, and structures for initiatives related to urban redevelopment, climate resilience, and transportation enhancement programs. We also prepare National Register nominations, Historic American Building Survey/Historian American Engineering Record documentation, and Cultural Landscape Reports.

We also provide our clients with design and preservation planning guidance to help viable land development proceed in consideration of significant historic sites, buildings, and contexts.

Our archaeologists perform the full range of archaeological services from sensitivity assessments, field testing, and data recovery excavations and monitoring during construction to artifact processing and analysis and the development and implementation of mitigation plans. Experience with complex and sensitive sites—including burial grounds—is a specialty of the firm.

We have close working relationships with state and local preservation agencies and organizations and specialize in assessments pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act, New York City Environmental Quality Review, and local landmarks laws.
