The CHRS, Inc. staff wishes all of our friends a safe and happy holiday season! We look forward to the new year and the many opportunities it will bring.

CHRS, Inc. recently designed and produced three interpretive panels for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), as part of SEPTA’s ongoing program of station renovations. Two panels mounted in the waiting room of the refurbished Ambler train station convey the station’s history through text and historic photographs, as well as the Borough’s configuration at the close of the nineteenth century (see above). The panel mounted in the renovated North Wales station provides an overview of the North Pennsylvania Railroad’s nineteenth-century inception and development, along with the railroad’s contribution to North Wales’ growth (see below).

Although she grew up near Rochester, New York, Lindsey had only been to Buffalo a handful of times – she had no idea the amount of architectural integrity the downtown retains. In many respects the city was a perfect host for a twenty-first century preservation conference: it experiences many of the preservation and planning issues that plague shrinking post-industrial cities, yet a number of revitalized neighborhoods and individual architectural gems reflect successful city and state preservation programs. She looks forward to applying what she learned during the conference to her work at CHRS, Inc.
