Aleks Istanbullu and Anne Troutman’s Home on Second Street in Santa Monica will be one of three architecturally significant buildings on the “Stewardship at home” tour as part of The California Preservation Foundation’s “Preservation on the Edge” Conference.
The 1875 Carpenter Gothic Revival style Church is the oldest wood structure in Santa Monica. Moved to its present location in 1903, its first use as a residence in 1971 resulted in very few changes. Seven years ago architect Aleks Istanbullu and artist-architect Anne Troutman restored and renovated the landmark building as their home and art studio.
The four day conference (May 15 - 18, 2011) takes place in and around Santa Monica and includes lectures, workshops, and exclusive tours and events exploring the future of preservation and its essential role in sustainability, economic development, and community character.
It will offer a wealth of information and is open to Architects, Building Officials, LEED Accredited Professionals, Planners, Landscape Architects, Historians, Engineers, Educators, Contractors, Historic Property Owners and anyone interested in protecting California’s rich and diverse heritage.
