“We expect this course to attract a myriad of students from elementary and secondary teachers in the region to budding historians to members of the community who want to learn more about the historic corridor in which they live,” said Beverly Blois Ph.D, Dean of the Humanities Division, Program Head for Historic Preservation, NOVA Loudoun.

This 175-mile historic corridor was designated as one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places by The National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2005.

Study the History of America Through Its Architectureat the NVCC Loudoun Campus
This fall, the Loudoun Campus of Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) offers a class that gives students a unique look at American homes from the colonial era to today. Survey of American Architecture (HIS 298) provides a comprehensive overview of the styles, origins and history of American domestic architecture.
Students will learn about the style evolution of American architecture and the architects and builders that shaped that evolution. Guest lecturers will discuss building techniques and the history of specific structures, and field trips to sites such as the 18th century village of Waterford and the 20th century town of Reston allow students to analyze structures from different time periods.
In addition to studying homes, buildings such as the Dulles airport terminal designed by Eero Sarinen will also be examined. The course is taught by Dana Shoaf, editor of America’s Civil War magazine and a member of the NVCC Historic Preservation Advisory Board.
Registration for fall classes at the Reston Center and all six NVCC campuses is going on now. Apply for admission online at www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect, or visit any NVCC campus location.
