Sean\u2019s work is preserving and protecting noteworthy buildings and sites that represent our history in this town. And his posts on Facebook, under the group \u201cPreserve Historic Lafayette,\u201d are very revealing of the nature of the growth and history of Lafayette \u2013 buildings, people, families, and stories \u2013 things that we unfortunately lose touch with as time passes and things get rebuilt and paved over. Sean talks about his work documenting and protecting the \u201cOld City\u2019s\u201d urban core of structures and neighborhoods, as well as contemporary opportunities to utilize historic preservation for, and in cooperation with, economic development. Lafayette\u2019s \u201cwalkable historic environment\u201d has the potential to be its calling card and its visual statement. As well, we joke about some of Lafayette\u2019s lesser known history and infamy, including the potential for Sean\u2019s Lafayette history scratch-n-sniff book and line of scented candles. And Sean lists his \u201csecret gem sites\u201d in the Old City. Don\u2019t miss it! ","author_name":"ART TAP","author_url":"http:\/\/arttappodcast.blogspot.com","html":"
