ABOUT ME
I'm Peter Galloway, a professional dedicated to breathing new life into historical buildings, with a touch of 18th-century grace and charm.
From Chicago Roots to International Flair
Born and bred in the bustling city of Chicago, I found my love for architectural splendor punctuated by the city's skyline. My academic endeavors took me to Clemson University, where the tapestry of International Business and the allure of the Spanish language filled my studies. Yet, my passion for architecture, art, and history—an ember sparked while wandering the storied avenues of Europe during family travels—never waned.
Bridging Interests into a Career
Before entering the world of preservation, I embarked on a completely different career path, working in cardiac mapping for Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary. Although this role was fulfilling, my entrepreneurial spirit yearned for something more. This desire for independence led us to purchase our first project: a circa 1884 Victorian house. Taking on this project nearly a decade ago was a profound learning experience, teaching us the dos and don'ts of preservation and setting the foundation for our future endeavors in the field.
There's a unique narrative that every building tells, etched into its very structure. While my professional path led me to the world of business, the siren call of historical architecture was an undeniable force. Charleston—an epitome of architectural elegance with familial roots—nourished my love for historical artistry, especially that of the 18th century.
Incorporating my business acumen with my abiding interest in the building arts, I embarked on a fulfilling career in architectural restoration. I've had the privilege of restoring venerable buildings, ensuring their stories endure for future generations to revel in.
Commitment to Preservation
Leveraging a solid work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, persistent research, creativity, and exceptional communication skills, I have contributed significantly to the field of preservation. My projects echo a bygone era's craftsmanship, mirrored in the present day's aesthetic and structural integrity.
My proficiency in both English and Spanish has served as a bridge in a domain where diverse cultural backgrounds converge, especially pertinent in the culturally rich Lowcountry and Coastal Georgia area.
Join me as we unveil timeless beauty, transformed and tailored for today's appreciation. Whether you share a passion for historical architecture or seek knowledge and expertise on restoration, you're in the right place.
