Calling all residential architects! We are looking for talented individuals who share our passion for beautiful, thoughtful design.
 
Our studio in the heart of Doylestown is hiring! Join our collaborative and energetic team that genuinely loves what we do (and each other’s company—yes, we actually like hanging out!). We geek out over historic details, obsess over craftsmanship, and take real pride in seeing a design through from first sketch to final walkthrough. If that sounds like your kind of people, keep reading.
 
Motivated professionals with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and experience in single-family residential design are encouraged to apply. Not local to Bucks County? Don’t let that stop you—we’re open to discussing relocation for the right fit. In return, you’ll get generous benefits, real room to grow, and a salary that reflects your experience... plus a team that will celebrate your wins with you.
 
Know someone (or ARE someone) who’d be a great fit? Send your resume and portfolio to [email protected], or visit the link in our bio to learn more. We’d love to hear from you!

The Körner’s Folly Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is seeking a practical, detail-driven team member to help carry out our mission to foster an appreciation for history, the arts, and enterprise through the preservation and interpretation of Körner’s Folly.

The Preservation Specialist is responsible for leading the day-to-day stewardship of Körner’s Folly’s historic buildings, collections, and preservation systems. This position leads routine monitoring, documentation, preventive care, and follow-through on facilities and collections needs; coordinates qualified contractors and specialists; and helps ensure that preservation concerns are identified early and addressed according to appropriate standards and practices.

Because preservation is inseparable from daily museum operations, the Preservation Specialist also works regular public-facing shifts in the historic house and/or Visitors Center. This position helps open and close the site, supports visitors and coworkers, and observes how the buildings and collections perform under real operating conditions. This role reports to the Executive Director and works closely with the Operations Coordinator, Community Engagement Manager, Visitor Services staff, volunteers, contractors, and professional preservation consultants.

MORE DATES ADDED TO SALINE COUNTY POOR HOUSE, IL!

We're excited to announce two more volunteer sessions have been added for October 18-23 and October 20-25 working alongside Job Corps students .

The Saline County Poor House served as a haven for the county’s most penurious residents. Originally housed in a makeshift structure, the poor house was moved to the newly built brick building in 1877. For years, this building served as both a shelter for the county’s poorest residents and an opportunity for these individuals to contribute back to the operation of the grounds, as residents were required to work on the farm if able.

Our volunteers will assist to repair the north and south porches as well as the main house during two weeks that include a diverse array of preservation skills and tasks.
