ART Architects partner J.B. Clancy joined the Boiler Room podcast, where he has become a frequent guest speaker. In this episode, J.B. reflects on his ongoing research into the architecture of Jamaica Plain, the Boston neighborhood where host Kevin grew up. He first debuted his talk “Setting the Stage: Jamaica Plain Architectural History” during Design Week 2022 as part of our panel discussion “The Renaissance of Jamaica Plain.” Since then, J.B. has continued to refine the presentation and expand its scope to include architectural history across New England.
The conversation also touches on J.B.’s restoration work on the Sunflower House, a historic Stick-Style Victorian, and even takes a personal turn when he shares the story of a mixtape that unexpectedly sparked his interest in architecture.
For listeners who enjoy the intersections of place, history, and even music, this is a compelling episode worth tuning into.
