What is The AP?

Join me on an unexpected journey in restoration and research at the circa 1810 Simon Jude Chancognie House in Charleston, South Carolina and beyond.

Thank you @laurensouthdown for the behind the scenes tour of @historiccharlestonfoundation’s Nathaniel Russell House! Trying to track down original furnishings from the house has been a challenge since they were dispersed from the house after Russell died. Pictured here is the only piece of furniture currently on display that is known to be original to the house. #theaccidentalpreservationist
Thank you Ben Masterson for the fantastic tour of the joinery at @oldsaleminc! I had the pleasure of meeting Ben this summer when @mesdagram’s Summer Institute visited the Chancognie House. He demonstrated his expert skills and then let me give it a try - slide for the comparison and thanks to Ben for not taking a video of my efforts! #theaccidentalpreservationist
Congratulations to @mesdagram on a fantastic Furniture Seminar: “British by Design: Furniture in the Age of Thomas Chippendale”! A series of great lectures and a demonstration were followed by gallery tours - see my stories for more. #theaccidentalpreservationist
It was a perfect day to do a little digging....#theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
This recent archaeological find at the Chancognie House seems appropriate for #internationalwomensday. #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
At the Chancognie House, demolition of the 1988 addition is nearly complete and despite the debris everywhere, it is great to see the original northern profile of the house restored. More to come! #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
