It is a survey of the most significant extant structures in the state. Buildings chosen for inclusion showcase successful historic preservation practices and techniques. These buildings tell a diverse story that shows how nationally significant architects and Native Americans, pioneer, female, and African American architects have all contributed to Georgia’s built environment. As the former CEO of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, McDonald was in a unique position to determine the book’s content. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to meet McDonald and get a signed copy of the book.
