Our featured speakers will be Laine and Kevin Berry, nationally recognized historic house advocates and creators of Our Restoration Nation. Many of our members will remember the Berrys as the popular guest speakers at our 2024 Tour of Homes. Laine's presentation, "There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down," explores why every historic building deserves a second chance. Through remarkable restoration stories, photographs, and practical insights, she will challenge the idea that old houses are beyond saving while celebrating the craftsmanship, history, and character that make them irreplaceable. Over the past 25 years, Laine and Kevin have restored historic homes across the South while balancing successful careers as a bridal designer and advertising agency owner. Their passion for preserving America's architectural heritage has inspired thousands through their restoration projects and popular social media presence, Our Restoration Nation. Whether you own an old home, appreciate historic architecture, or simply enjoy hearing stories of remarkable preservation successes, this program promises to be both informative and entertaining. The meeting is free and open to the public. We hope you'll bring a friend and join us on Sunday, August 30, at 2:00 p.m. at the Camden ARP Church at 209 Broad Street in Camden! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/camden/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-tear-down-with-laine-berry/200030537503923 - **Event Categories**: Meetups, Art, Contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 20 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Camden - **state**: AL - **country**: United States - **location**: 209 Broad St, Camden, AL 36726-1703, United States - **lat**: 31.99346 - **long**: -87.29121 - **full address**: 209 Broad St, Camden, AL 36726-1703, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down with Laine Berry - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/c546f6b9814fef967695067f08ddedea044112948e8989611fa58f40239e233e-rimg-w1200-h628-dce8e8d8-gmir?v=1787830104 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down with Laine Berry being held? - **A:** There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down with Laine Berry takes place on Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm at 209 Broad St, Camden, AL 36726-1703, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down with Laine Berry? - **A:** There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down with Laine Berry is organized by Wilcox Historical Society. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
