Description

Brian Pfeiffer, architectural historian, has extensive experience documenting historic buildings. This work has led him to focus on historic craft techniques and traditional building materials by managing restoration projects where he is able to call on his knowledge and years working with preservation craftsmen. On Nantucket Mr. Pfeiffer has overseen conservation repairs to two 18th-century timber-frame houses and most recently served as project manager for the Unitarian Meeting House. He also serves as easement consultant for the Nantucket Preservation Trust and the ‘Sconset Trust.

NPT’s Scholarship Program was established to encourage and promote traditional building methods essential for the preservation of Nantucket’s historic architecture and to provide education opportunities to increase knowledge of these important crafts. The scholarship is designed to assist high school graduates looking to enter the construction field with the intention of returning to the island to practice their traditional building skills, and the island building trade person interested in perfecting old skills or in learning new ones.
