Elric Johnston Endersby (born 1946 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA) is an American architect, historic preservationist and historian recognized for preserving early American timber frame architecture, primarily the English barn and Dutch barn styles of colonial era America.[1]
Career[edit]
Elric Endersby majored in the history of architecture at Trinity College (Connecticut), graduating in 1968,[2] and studied preservation architecture at The Cooperstown Graduate Program at SUNY Oneonta.[3] In 1975 he founded the Princeton History Project – recording the oral histories of individuals with memories stretching back to the 1870s – and for 12 years edited its monthly journal The Princeton Recollector,[4][5] featured in an exhibition Princeton Recollects at The Historical Society of Princeton in 2004.[6]
In 1980, he founded the New Jersey Barn Company with Alexander Greenwood. Specializing in handmade structures from the Mid-Atlantic States and New England, they disassemble antique timber frame barns and houses that are endangered by development and neglect, and restore and reassemble them.[3] They have completed over 150 such projects, including a barn that serves as the visitor center at the Howell Living History Farm[7], a school house for the Schenck Farm, and the Edmund Burroughs House in Princeton, New Jersey. They use period-correct materials, tools, and techniques in their construction.[8]
Through public lectures Endersby has raised awareness about the value of antique buildings and preserving the agrarian history of colonial America. He and Greenwood are widely cited as timber framing experts.[9]
Publications[edit]
Endersby, often with Greenwood, has authored several books on the topic of barns, including Barn: The Art of a Working Building,[10] cited as an important resource on the topic.[11]
Awards and Honors[edit]
Endersby and the New Jersey Barn Company have received awards for their work, including:
- 2010: New Jersey Historic Preservation Award, NJ Department of Environmental Protection[12]
- 2004: American Institute of Architects: Award for Excellence in Architecture: Build Category
- 1995: North American Timber Framers Guild: Outstanding Achievement in Design Award
