Event Description

What makes a city feel authentic? Which buildings deserve to be saved — and who decides?

Since Orlando passed its preservation ordinance in 1976, the city has wrestled with those questions while experiencing extraordinary growth and change. Jennifer Fritz-Hunter, Orlando’s Historic Preservation Officer, shares stories from the front lines of preservation: beloved landmarks rescued from demolition, places lost forever, and the ongoing challenge of protecting history in a fast-growing city. A fascinating look at how preservation helps communities hold onto their character while planning for the future.
