Share your PRH Memories & Honor Our Founders!

Join us in honoring the legacy of our PRH founders! We invite you to contribute memories and messages that celebrate the profound impact of our founders – James Bettison, Bert Long Jr., Jesse Lott, Rick Lowe, Floyd Newsum, Bert Samples, and George Smith. We want to express our gratitude to Project Row Houses seven visionary founders and present them in a Memory Box to each of our living founders and the families of the founders who are no longer with us.

Come by the Memory Station in the PRH Community Gallery, to snap a polaroid and leave a physical note and/or photos. Your contributions will become part of the PRH Ar(t)chives, preserving your unique perspective on our shared story. For all digital submissions, fill out the form and upload your note or photo here:
