Survey of Miami Beach's Art Deco Treasures

RuskinARC lets teams map and organize the largest concentration of Art Deco architecture in the US. The interactive collection can be exported to Florida SHPO inventory forms.

The Art Deco District is the economic engine behind the rebirth of Miami Beach --- a shining example of the value of historic preservation.

RuskinARC is perfect to promote and manage these assets. It's critical for their continued preservation and as an educational tool for the public.

Architectural Survey of Historic Abilene, Texas

The city of Abilene, Texas boasts historic buildings from its late Victorian beginnings to Gothic Revival high-rises and mid-century modern commercial buildings.

In 2012 the Texas Historical Commission provided a matching grant to update the existing survey of the most important landmarks in Abilene. This is an on-going effort to keep these buildings publicly accessible and provide the most up to date information about these resources.

RuskinARC let me identify and document hundreds of historic properties in half the time it would have taken.
