Welcome to Historic Preservation in America’s Legacy Cities! We are excited to have you join us in Cleveland for this timely and important conversation. Cities such as Cleveland face severe economic distress and decades of population loss and are confronted on a daily basis with difficult decisions about what to preserve and what to destroy. In many cases, the fate of our historic resources – the tangible reminders of the rich heritage embedded in the fabric of Legacy Cities – hangs in the balance. It was with a concern for historic resources, a realistic understanding of the chal-lenges, and a hope for a better future that we organized this convening. Over the next three days, you will have the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of issues – from historic tax credits to federal policy to housing and neighborhood stabilization and beyond. You will have the opportunity to network with practi-tioners, scholars and students who represent a diverse set of professions includ-ing historic preservation, economic development, community development and housing, and local/state/federal policy, among others. And, you will have the chance to see, first-hand, revitalization efforts, preservation successes, and ongo-ing challenges here in Cleveland. We hope that you use the convening to build bridges across sectors and generate ideas about how to incorporate preservation into legacy city planning and policy. We offer a special thanks to Cleveland City Councilman, Jeffrey Johnson, who was a driving force behind the convening and to Cleveland State University and the Cleveland Restoration Society for co-hosting the event. We also thank all of our generous financial supporters and our co-sponsors, listed on the following pages. In many ways, this convening is an example of an integrated approach to preservation in Legacy Cities – bringing together elected officials, major urban institutions and traditional preservation groups to build upon the heritage of our cities for a brighter and more hopeful future. We hope that you enjoy your time in Cleveland. Be sure to stop by the registration desk with any questions. With warm regards,
Stephanie Ryberg-Webster, Assistant Professor of Urban Studies, Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University
Kathleen H. Crowther, President, Cleveland Restoration Society

PERSPECTIVES ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN
AMERICA’S LEGACY CITIES
Levin College of Urban Affairs Atrium
Join us for an engaging plenary panel that will address the issue of historic
preservation in America’s legacy cities from four interdisciplinary perspectives.
The dynamic speakers include Dr. Clement Price, an expert on African
American history, American cultural policy and American urban history. Dr. Price
has previously served as a speaker for the Cleveland Restoration Society’s Black
History Month program and as an advisor to the Society on its 40th anniversary
legacy projects: Landmarks of Cleveland’s African American experience.
Councilman Jeffrey Johnson represents Cleveland’s Ward 10, which includes
portions of the city’s South Collinwood, St. Clair-Superior, Glenville, Euclid Park,
and Nottingham Village neighborhoods. Councilman Johnson was instrumental
in organizing this convening, particularly through his negotiations with Cleveland
State University regarding the recent demolition of the Wolfe Music Building
along Cleveland’s Euclid Avenue.
Lavea Brachman, the Executive Director of the Greater Ohio Policy Center,
brings the voice of a state-level urban policymaker to the panel. Lavea co-
authored the recent report, Regenerating America’s Legacy Cities (with Alan
Mallach and sponsored by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy) and actively
works to restore economic prosperity to cities, towns and communities
throughout the State of Ohio.
Finally, Emilie Evans, will discuss her work to survey and preserve historic
resources in Detroit. Jointly appointed by the Michigan Historic Preservation
Network and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Emilie has an on-the-
ground perspective about the challenges and opportunities of using preservation
to help shape the future of legacy cities.
Each panelist will discuss the pros and cons of historic preservation, from their
professional perspective and experience, with sufficient time for audience Q & A.
Moderator: Kathleen H. Crowther (President, Cleveland Restoration Society)

The Cleveland Restoration Society (CRS) is the
voice for historic preservation in Northeast Ohio.
CRS encourages the preservation of significant
buildings and sites in Greater Cleveland and
policies that promote historic rehabilitation. Over
the years we have advocated aggressively at City
Hall for particularly significant endangered
buildings such as the theaters of
PlayhouseSquare. We have worked hard to
preserve historic religious buildings and schools, in
particular by promoting their adaptive use. Learn

The Cleveland Restoration Society (CRS) is the
voice for historic preservation in Northeast Ohio.
CRS encourages the preservation of significant
buildings and sites in Greater Cleveland and
policies that promote historic rehabilitation. Over
the years we have advocated aggressively at City
Hall for particularly significant endangered
buildings such as the theaters of
PlayhouseSquare. We have worked hard to
preserve historic religious buildings and schools, in
particular by promoting their adaptive use. Learn
