Rethos
Rethos’ mission is to implement New Preservation. New Preservation means the preservation, protection, and promotion of buildings and places that are historic, important, or cherished by a community for the stories associated with them, the architects who designed them and the style which they were built, or the people who worked and lived in them. New Preservation means telling the stories of everyone and of every space from the modest Main Street to the grandest mansion, from those just decades old to others that have stood the test of time. New Preservation by Rethos is historic preservation in the broadest sense: historic registered buildings, deconstruction, DIY education to repair instead of replace, repurposing buildings, Minnesota Main Streets, heritage tourism, and furthering state legislation not just for those that historic preservation has always served but also for those it, in the past, has neglected. This is New Preservation.
