Irv was a beacon to so many of us in preservation. We send condolences to his family.

Thank you, Irv, for your good guidance and joyous spirit.

The National Trust is saddened to learn of the passing of our friend, colleague, and trustee Irvin Henderson who died over the weekend from a heart attack.

Irvin was a legend in the preservation field and is beloved by many. He believed deeply in the National Trust's mission and served on numerous boards and councils including at the National Trust Community Investment Corporation and Main Street America.

While we, and the broader preservation community, mourn his loss, his legacy will continue to live on and inspire the work we do every day.

London. Amsterdam. Five programs. One unforgettable week. 🏛🚲🇬🇧🇳🇱

The 1772 Foundation's Advisor Exchange Program just wrapped up its second trip of the year — this time bringing Myrick Howard, Kim Trent, Kathy Kottaridis, and Emily Hopkins to London and Amsterdam to explore some of Europe's most inspiring historic properties redevelopment work.

The focus of this trip: revolving funds and heritage-led regeneration — the kinds of programs that take endangered historic buildings and give them new life, again and again.

From the storied streets of Spitalfields with the inspiring Dan Cruickshank of the The Spitalfields Trust, to the remarkable hat-making heritage of Luton being reborn through the Architectural Heritage Fund and The Culture Trust of Luton, to three days with Stadsherstel Amsterdam — touring canal-side churches, a 1704 lumber merchant's home once visited by Czar Peter the Great, and a 17th-century building being transformed into a modern art museum — the week was packed with inspiration.

The Advisor Exchange Program is about more than study tours. It's about recognizing practitioners who are leading the field, connecting them with international peers, and fostering a global network of people who believe that old buildings deserve a future.

Thank you to every host, guide, and collaborator who made this week possible. We couldn't be more proud of this cohort! 🙌

What a week! 🇮🇪

This May, we had the joy of hosting Lauren McHale and Katie Williams from L'Enfant Trust in Ireland as part of our Advisor Exchange Program — a week packed with island adventures, heritage tours, and meaningful professional connections.

From the windswept beauty of Inis Meáin in the Aran Islands 🏝 (home to Teach Synge, an An Taisce-nominated World Monuments Watch property) to the grandeur of Malahide Castle, Lauren and Katie experienced the depth and variety of Ireland's built heritage firsthand.

The highlight? A gathering of Dublin Heritage Professionals at Irish Landmark Trust's beautiful home on Parnell Square, where Lauren and Katie presented L'Enfant Trust's easement and revolving fund programs to local practitioners. The conversation that followed reminded us why this exchange matters so much — preservation professionals on both sides of the Atlantic have so much to learn from each other.

Thank you to our incredible hosts: An Taisce, Irish Landmark Trust, Dublin Civic Trust, Hearth Historic Buildings Trust in Belfast, and Malahide Castle. And thank you Lauren and Katie for bringing your expertise, enthusiasm, and good humor to every stop on the itinerary! 🙏
