City Paper: DIGS Series- Christina Butler Does Things the
Right Way.
We were honored when the City Paper featured our work described us as a "preservation badass. She writes about historic preservation. She teaches it. She renovates. And she lives in a modern home built to feel like something a skilled Charleston tradesman would have lived in 250 years ago."
