    CAMERA & CLIPBOARD The Historical & Architectural Survey Newsletter April 2011 Number 29 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HISTORY COLORADO’S NEW HISTORICAL & ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY COORDINATOR As a result of OAHP’s search process last summer and fall, Leslie Giles was selected to serve as the coordinator of the statewide historical and architectural survey program. Her first day at History Colorado was January 10, 2011. Leslie completed her B.A. in Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin in 1987 and obtained a Master of Architectural History and Preservation Certificate at the University of Virginia in 1990. She has several years’ experi- ence working for state historic preservation offices in both New York and Virginia, and has been a preservation consultant for over a decade, working on surveys, nominations, tax credit applications, and design guidelines as co- owner of Lexington, Virginia-based Landmark Preservation Associates since 1996. From 2002 to 2010, Leslie was Executive Director of Historic Lexington Foundation, where she administered preservation easements and restoration grants, oversaw rehabilitations of threatened properties, and advocated for improved local and state preservation policies. Since 1999, she and husband Dan Pezzoni have also been busy raising two sons, Neil and Jonathan. Though she comes to us from Virginia, Leslie’s Colorado roots date to the 1930s, when her grandparents, Bob and Rosalia Aguirre Giles, moved to Boulder from Las Cruces, New Mexico. In the 1960s her grandparents relocated to Denver, and Leslie remembers childhood visits to several Denver area homes, including a 1920s brick bungalow on Dahlia Street and a 1970s split-level in Aurora. Bob and Rosalia also maintained a small cabin in the mountains near Evergreen, which was a magnet for summertime vacations for the extended Giles family.
