About Mark Alan Hewitt, FAIA

Hewitt is considered one of America’s foremost scholar-architects. Following training in historic preservation and architectural history at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, Hewitt set up a practice in 1980 as a restoration and adaptive re-use specialist. Since that time his firm has won New Jersey state historic preservation awards, local AIA design awards, and many other honors.

In six books and dozens of articles he has advanced knowledge and appreciation for the Arts & Crafts movement, the country life era, early 20th century American domestic architecture, the New York row house, and landscape architecture of the early 20th century, among other subjects. As an active participant in historic preservation and regional history, Hewitt continues to study and write about New Jersey’s built environment. He is one of three authors contributing to the forthcoming AIA-NJ book on 150 Great Buildings and Places in New Jersey. https://www.maharchitect.net/
