PATRICK GUTHRIE, AIA, NCARB

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Patrick Guthrie received his architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University in 1991. His emphasis was on the adaptive use of existing buildings, which has been woven through thirty years of professional practice.

He has worked with the National Park Service, the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and private-sector architecture firms on myriad historic residential, religious, commercial, institutional, and public projects. Many projects are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and several are National Historic Landmarks. He understands the challenge of sensitively modifying older buildings to meet the needs of modern users, including those with physical disabilities. The Massachusetts Historical Commission, the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, the Historic Salem, and the Cambridge Historical Commission have all recognized his work.

Patrick’s passion for the built environment extends beyond his work life. He has served on historical commissions, spoken on the intersection of building codes and historic structures, and sat on boards in the not-for-profit arts and history space.

He is a registered architect with licenses in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
