Limelight on Moss Rudley of the National Parks Service- A Conversation on Lime Mortars

We are thankful for your work as an associate in green building and historic building conservation. Every six weeks we plan to focus the limelight on a story that we think will strengthen the collective resolve to remain strong advocates of resource conservation. A snapshot video or “Spark Segment”, as we call it, is how we will put the limelight on highly skilled craftspeople, sharp engineers or creative designing architects and builders. A spark segment will celebrate their current work or the legacy of great works they’ve left behind. With each installment we hope to capture the essence of “movers and shakers”, (people, places and objects), that inspire us to continue pressing forward. We remain faithfully yours as advocates in this most sacred work.

This segment features Moss Rudley, an Exhibit Specialist at the Historic Preservation Training Center in Frederick MD. He manages a team of specialist who travel the country restoring our nation’s built heritage. LimeWorks.us had a chance to speak with him in Gettysburg on his thoughts about using lime mortar in today’s conservation efforts.

Moss is actually a Supervisory Exhibit Specialist for the Historic Preservation Training Center of the National Park Service and one of our very talented team members. Very excited to see you put him in the Limelight!
