Feldman Hired for 3D Laser Scans

Harry R. Feldman, Inc. recently completed four historic scanning projects in New England. Through 3D laser scanning, the firm has been hired to capture historic landmarks and ‘digitally’ preserves them for design, visualization and for the preservation for future generations.
The properties recently preserved by Feldman’s team include:
The Shirley Eustis House in Roxbury—This house is one of only four remaining Royal Colonial Governors’ mansions in the country. It is one of a handful of Boston’s national landmarks that pre-date 1750.
The Fairbanks House in Dedham—Built in 1636, this house is believed to be the oldest surviving timber frame house in North America.
The Baker-Robinson Oil Refinery—this New Bedford whale oil refinery was a pillar of the port’s reputation as the whaling capital of the world. Recently, the National Parks called upon the Feldman team to return to the site to scan the attic space and then register all data related to the prior exterior and interior shell data.
The Charles W. Morgan Whaling Ship—the Mystic Seaport of Connecticut commissioned the Feldman team to this property for a second time this year. This time, the team was returned to scan the exterior hull and top deck in an effort to produce a 3D model of the exterior to add to the prior interior work.
Michael Feldman, the President and CEO of Harry R. Feldman, Inc. reflects on the commissions: “It is an honor to be called upon to help preserve these important, historic properties. It is a great feeling to know that we are doing our part to document some of the Country’s great history with our scanning technology.”
