Watch: A Tour of the Townhouses
Pictured on homepage: Samples of wallpaper from different eras found beneath the sheetrock and plaster walls of the townhouse classrooms and offices.
In his latest vodcast, Principal Bo Lauder brings viewers on an archeological tour of the Townhouses, post-demolition. The interior walls have been peeled back, exposing layers of time and their corresponding interior design aesthetics. These three townhouses have endured many renovations over the past two centuries, but the most important renovation has just begun — a redesign of these special spaces to bring about 21st century teaching and learning!
