Meet Giselle 👋 a future architect student who spent the past year as a historic preservation intern at the Atlanta Preservation Center, researching one historic home: the Maguire-Livsey House (also known as the “The Promised Land”) in Gwinnett County.

One house can carry a lot of meaning. The changes made inside and out, the families who lived there, the small details most of us would walk past without a second look. Giselle spent months learning and exploring, and came away seeing how much one place can really say. She just graduated from the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology and heads to Kennesaw State this fall to study architecture. She told us this internship was the first time she got to really dig in and follow her own questions, and the story of this house helped her find meaning in something bigger. We’re proud of everything she’s dug into with us, and we can’t wait to see where she goes next. 💚 #PreserveATL #AtlantaHistory #HistoricPreservation #ATLArchitecture #Internship
