Preserving Historic Waterworks Infrastructure
Meisha Hunter Burkett, a historic preservationist and former resident of the Master Apartments, has studied and advocated for the preservation of historic water infrastructure throughout her career. A recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Rome Prize in Historic Preservation from he American Academy in Rome, she is actively engaged in preservation efforts on an international basis and has written extensively on this topic.
The supply, storage, protection and use of water impact the social and economic well-being of every society. The built heritage associated with water is steeped in civil engineering achievement that met critical needs – from Persian qanats to ancient Roman aqueducts, Indian step wells and pre-Incan canals. Some of the built heritage that delivered water to homes and public baths, agricultural fields and distributing reservoirs continues to function. It is urgent that we increase our public consciousness of and respect for civil engineering achievements of the past realized in the face of needed social change. In order to preserve this water infrastructure, it will take political will, ongoing heritage education and designation to protect it, and creation of forums to foster integrated cross-disciplinary management.
Meisha Hunter Burkett is a Senior Historic Preservationist at Li/Saltzman Architects. She has contributed to Adaptive Strategies for Water Heritage (Carola Hein, editor, Springer 2019); Engineering History and Heritage’s Themed Journal on Water Heritage (Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 2019); TICCIH’s Water Industry as World Heritage (2018); L’aque, le Pietri e Bronzi le Fontane Monumentali (Commune di Roma, 2012); City Secrets: Rome (Fang, Duff Kahn, 2011); and Sustainability and Historic Preservation (University of Delaware Press, 2011). She is a member of US/ICOMOS, theInternational Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage, and the Society of Fellows of the American Academy in Rome. She wrote her postgraduate thesis on Stewardship and Sustainability of Historic Waterworks Infrastructure: Rome and New York at Columbia University.

Large Capacity Humidifier $20
AIRCARE MA 1201 Whole-House Console-Style Evaporative Humidifier (3.6 gal.)
The humidifier is in good condition. It’s supposed to be good for 3600 square feet, but it just about cut it in my large studio, probably because steam heat drys the air so thoroughly. So I bought a bigger one. It’ll be fine for a small studio or large room. I’ll throw in some extra filters.
Paid over $100. Selling for $20. I’m in the building, call 212-316-4915

On Exhibition at the Master Gallery: Iceland, Animal, Mineral, Myth, by Jeanette Winter
Jeanette Winter, a resident of The Master, will be showing Iceland, Animal, Mineral, Myth, a collection of photographs and photo illustrations in The Master Gallery from January 31 – April 27, 2019.
Winter describes her journey to Iceland in a short poem entitled My Mythical Land.
My Mythical Land
A tiny troll doll. I was seven years old.
Troll pictures on walls in Uncle Bowman’s house,
talk of tomten in a Swedish accent-
this was part of my mind’s landscape when I was child.
They stayed tucked away in a corner of my consciousness.
Until 1968, when they came to the forefront again.
I wrote and illustrated my first published book-
THE CHRISTMAS VISITORS, about Norwegian trolls.
The trolls receded, forgotten, until 45 years later.
A trip to Iceland and Greenland brought them forward again-
they were there all along.
I wanted to see icebergs in Iceland – I saw horses.
I saw primeval landscapes.
I saw craggy mountains and rock formations.
I photographed the horses.
I photographed the landscapes.
And I photographed the craggy mountains and rock formations.
There I saw the hidden people, the trolls and all the folk
that might live in these crags and caves.
But the photographs didn’t seem complete, so I added the little people.
I had found their home.
Jeanette Winter
