Sheafe Satterthwaite, Professor Extraordinaire

Cyane was lucky to have a class with Sheafe Satterthwaite on Landscape History. Many years later, Sheafe is still teaching, still learning, still reading, and putting together many different fields of study. Here, Sheafe is explaining early Dutch construction techniques in upstate New York houses.


The library of a true scholar!
Sheafe has meticulously restored his house.
