Prominent Pittsburgh Preservationist Stanley A. Lowe Attacked

Please join us in our thoughts and prayers for Stanley A. Lowe, a dedicated preservationist who has been crucial to Pittsburgh’s revitalization and New Orleans’ post-Katrina recovery. Stanley was the victim of a violent break in that left him with multiple stab wounds, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Stanley has dedicated his life to improving the historic fabric and livability of cities throughout the country, including playing a role in New Orleans’ ongoing recovery effort. He had been the vice president of National Trust, recently resigning that post to free up time to play a more active role in New Orleans and his local neighbhorhood.

We at the PRC are particularly saddened as we were privileged to work with him in the aftermath of the storm. Stanley came in and helped us quickly evaluate the condition of the city and determine how best to effectively move forward and assist the our fellows. He arrived full of passion and principle, never flagging in his dedication to the cause. He was and continues to be an inspiration, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.
