Elizabeth Moore

Elizabeth Moore joined the staff of the Center for Historic Preservation in April 2006 as the coordinator of field projects.  As a recent CHP fellow, Moore has researched and written several National Register of Historic Places nominations, including those for five African-American churches and schools in Giles County.  In addition, she conducted a Fentress County architectural survey as well as a historical survey of the six Mississippi River counties of the Tennessee Delta as part of the Mississippi River Natural and Recreational Corridor project.  She is currently completing an update of the design guidelines and a digital architectural survey for the city of Franklin.

Moore completed her Masters of Architectural History and Certificate of Historic Preservation at the University of Virginia in May 2005.  Her thesis, entitled Richmond, Virginia’s African American High Schools: the Architecture of the Washington-DuBois Debate, 1923-1938, focused on the physical representation of early twentieth-century trends in African-American high school education. Moore is a native of Clanton, Alabama, and received her Bachelor of Arts in art history from Vanderbilt University in 2003.
