Caitlin Boyle
She moved to Buffalo to pursue dissertation research on the interconnectedness of community memory and retail spaces within the dynamics of post-World War II neighborhood change. Her approach to architectural history emphasizes the cultural and social meanings of the built environment, and she views historic preservation as an avenue for encouraging others to discover the rich history of buildings, neighborhoods and cultural landscapes in which we all live. Caitlin’s favorite mode of exploring Buffalo involves long, meandering walks with Fritz, the dashing Weimaraner from Wisconsin.

Derek King
Derek holds a B.A. in History and Anthropology with a minor in Global Studies from St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. Though new to the area, Derek is fascinated to see how many beautiful buildings still fill the cityscape, and is excited to be working with Preservation Studios to help ensure these historic places remain part of the Buffalo community. So far he has enjoyed spending evenings at Gallagher Beach, and weekends getting lost while looking for the restaurants and cafes locals have suggested.
