One of the highlights of 2024 was the thoughtful relocation of the Private Watson monument from downtown St. Catharines to Victoria Lawn Cemetery, a project spearheaded by Tom & his amazing team. This move beautifully balances historical recognition with the creation of a more inclusive public space.
The Private Watson statue, a significant landmark in St. Catharines, was moved last spring after careful consultation with the community. This decision reflects a deep commitment to preserving heritage while acknowledging our evolving understanding of history.
The relocation of the Private Watson monument serves as an example for other municipalities to consider, demonstrating that:
🪦 Heritage can be preserved in the right context. ✨ Public spaces can be made more inclusive, reflecting the diversity of our communities.
It’s inspiring to see how heritage preservation and inclusivity can work together to create spaces that honor the past and embrace the future.

🕊️ 😔🕊️Lost L.A. Landmarks
The #Palisades and #Eaton infernos have devastated the region, destroying over 30 historic structures in what preservationists are calling the single worst loss of such properties in Southern California’s history.
The number of lost landmarks could grow significantly as the damage continues to be assessed. While institutions like the Getty Villa were saved, the fate of other notable sites remains uncertain. Among these are several influential mid-century Case Study Houses, built under the sponsorship of Arts & Architecture magazine.
Confirmed losses include Altadena’s Zane Grey Estate and the Western-style home of Rogers in the Palisades, both of which held formal landmark status on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the fires also claimed many cherished community spaces, including Fox’s Restaurant in Altadena, Theatre Palisades, Moonshadows, and The Reel Inn—places that were integral to their neighborhoods as cultural and social hubs.
