Horace will present information on how the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form can help you find information on historical sites that are listed on the National Register. Properties listed in the Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. Information on these registration forms such as historic significance, context and bibliography can assist in finding genealogical and historical information that can be useful with brick walls research. Horace will also present information on the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund and the grants that can be applied for by individuals or organizations. 

Horace worked for Seattle District, Corps of Engineers, for 30 years; 7 years in Planning Branch and 23 years in the Design & Military Branches. In his position as the Seattle District Historical Architect and Program Manager of the Corps of Engineers National Center of Expertise (CX) for Preservation of Historic Structures and Buildings, Horace was responsible for Corps of Engineers technical assistance and coordination of national Historic Preservation Projects and Programs. He also assisted the Army and other Department of Defense agencies in developing historic preservation projects and programs. 

In February 2011 Horace was appointed to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation by President Barack Obama and also appointed the Board of Directors for the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training, Natchitoches, LA – May 2005 to 2019. He also has received four mayoral appointments for the City of Seattle since 1978 and three re-appointments. He served as a commissioner on the Seattle Planning Commission, Seattle Landmark Preservation Board, and Seattle Design Commission and was a member of the Board of Historic Seattle Preservation and Development Authority.
