In July 1997, Mary Harding Sadler and Camden Whitehead formed Sadler & Whitehead Architects PLC. Sadler & Whitehead is a small, woman-owned business that focuses on historic preservation and adaptive reuse. The firm has developed dozens of state and federal investment tax credit packages for public and private entities, as well as nomination reports for individual properties and historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places. The firm prepares reports for state and federal agencies that enable those agencies to anticipate and respond to historic preservation regulations and review processes. The firm's strength is its ability to participate in the generation of modern solutions within the limitations of existing structures, without compromising their historic character. In addition to historic consultation, Sadler & Whitehead provides architectural services for small commercial and residential projects. These projects are characterized by their responsibility to project limitations, including sensitivity to budget, thoughtful and innovative uses of humble materials, and participation in an age-old dialogue of architcture, construction and culture.
