• Paul Laurence Dunbar School NRHP Nomination

    In collaboration with Poster Frost Mirto Architects and the Dunbar Coalition, Logan Simpson prepared an NRHP nomination for the Paul Laurence Dunbar School, Tucson’s first and only school constructed for African-American students. The school operated as a segregated institution from 1918 to 1951, and as an integrated school under the leadership of Arizona’s first African-American principal of an integrated school, Morgan Maxwell, from 1951 – 1978. The school is significant in the areas of education and ethnic heritage, and for its association with Tucson’s African-American community, history of local school segregation, and as the only school built for African Americans in Tucson.

  • Rancho de las Golondrinas Cultural Landscape Report

    The Rancho de las Golondrinas Museum selected Logan Simpson to complete a cultural landscape report for the Rancho de las Golondrinas Property in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The project area contains over 90 prehistoric and historic archaeological remains, historic buildings and structures, segments of Camino Rael de Tierra Adentro, several properties listed in the NRHP, and a living history museum. A cultural landscape inventory and management assessment was completed for the 400-acre area, portions of which were intensively surveyed for cultural resources, and the project area was documented with an unnamed aerial vehicle.
