Devan Anderson is a Senior Project Architect at Quinn Evans, and President of the Board of Directors for Preservation Detroit, an organization whose vision is “to create a Detroit where cultural, architectural, and community preservation is integrated into every aspect of the city’s development.”
Founded in 1975 as a student organization focused on fighting the demolition of historic Wayne State University campus properties, Preservation Detroit has grown over the decades in breadth and reach. Today, it supports the preservation of historic Detroit buildings and landmarks in myriad ways, leading through advocacy and education.
Devan Anderson will speak about the organization’s history, including a general background of preservation efforts in the City of Detroit, recent successes and current efforts, and ways that the public can get involved to learn more about Detroit’s architectural and cultural legacy as well as to help save its irreplaceable built environment.
