Documentation of Historic Structures

Through a graduate course at the Center for Historic Architecture and Design at the University of Delaware I learned how to document features of historic buildings in the field. The detailed field notes provide enough information in case of demolition. Through an independent study I also learned how to translate my field notes into finished drawings with AutoCAD.
