Garavaglia Architecture, Inc. is proud to partner with the City of Lakeport to find a new use for their wonderful Carnegie Library. On June 18, 2014, Principal Mike Garavaglia and Architectural Conservator Jacqui Hogans were in Lakeport to facilitate a workshop to solicit community input. It was a great turnout and many great ideas were discussed. It even made the local paper! Read all about it in the Lake County News.

Michael Garavaglia accepted the award at the gala held at the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center on May 6th. The two buildings, the Chinese Store and Gambling Hall, were built c.1850 during the California gold rush era and are being planned to be part of an interpretive exhibit.
