Clay Lancaster

Clay Lancaster (March 30, 1917 – December 25, 2000), was an authority on American architecture, an orientalist, and an influential advocate of historical preservation. According to The New York Times, Lancaster's 1961 study of the architecture of Brooklyn Heights "proved to be one of the earliest and loudest shots in the historic preservation struggle in New York City.”[1]
