Preserving Esherick’s Home and Studio Since 1966: A Conversation with WEM’s Building Preservation Director Andrew Gustine

Wharton Esherick’s Home and Studio was a forty-year undertaking for the artist, and the building developed over time based on changing needs. Wharton Esherick broke ground on a sculptor’s studio in 1926 and put the finishing touches on what was by then a home in 1966 with a muraled silo. To help celebrate the Studio’s Centennial year, join us for a conversation with WEM’s Building Preservation Director Andrew Gustine about the ways this National Historic Landmark has continued to change over the past 60 years and the persistent preservation efforts around this building!
