Ms Janet LeViner
City Clerk
Tybee Island, GA 31328
Re: Tybee Island Historic Preservation Commission (HPC)
Dear Janet,
Please accept this letter as my formal request to be considered a member of the Tybee Island HPC. I understand
that this is a voluntary position and no compensation, nor benefits are provided, but expenses related to the
position are considered.
My resume is included, but it does not reflect my new job as Coastal Area Manager for R.W. Allen Construction
LLC. I started that position on May 16th and my office is at 222 E. Bay Street, Savannah, GA 31401.
For a quick summation, I am a registered architect in Georgia and Rhode Island with a Master of Architecture
from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was born in Hiawassee, Georgia and have, at various times, lived in
Boston, Atlanta, Cumming and Paris, France. I have over 35 years of experience, the last 24 years, of which, was
running a 55-person architectural design firm in Alpharetta, Ga (w/ a 15-person satelitte office in Pittsburgh). I
was Principal and partial owner for the last 14, of my 24, years with Pieper O’Brien Herr Architects. Prior to that,
I was the project manager on the renovations of the Putnam County Courthouse, which is on the National Register
of Historic Places.
I resigned my position and relocated to Tybee Island with my wife on May 2, 2019 and we have a house under
construction at 28 Naylor Ave. I have a deep appreciation of the historic architecture of Savannah and Tybee
Island, coupled with a desire to always encourage professional, artistic and creative contemporary design
successfully within the historic texture and context of Tybee Island. I am interested in serving my community and
this would be a wonderful opportunity. We moved here to work and retire, and to have a unique destination for
our 2 grown children and 4 young grandchildren to visit.
Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you for your consideration.
Warmest Regards,
Anthony J. Turpin AIA NCARB
