Partner, Grove & Dall’Olio Architects
Lisa M. Dall’Olio’s expertise as a preservationist and architectural historian have resulted in her participation in a variety of exciting assignments. In 1993, she served as an architectural consultant to the World Monument Fund to participate in an adaptive reuse study of the Esterháza Palace in Fertöd, Hungary. One year later, she supervised a preservation study of the cast-iron Cheslea Pier 54 in New York City, constructed in 1912 to serve the Cunard luxury liners. She was appointed by Governor Cecil Underwood in 1998 to the State Commission on Archives and History.
A native of the greater New York City metropolitan area, Ms. Dall’Olio studied at the top-rated, University of Texas, School of Architecture, where she obtained her Bachelor’s degree and pursued graduate work in the field of preservation. Returning to New York City in 1990, she was employed as a preservationist by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. There, her responsibilities included the review and evaluation of hundreds of proposed historic renovation projects. Using United States Department of Interior Preservation Standards, she consulted NYC Landmarks Preservation Commissioners on projects which ranged from facade and interior improvements made to small, historic private residences – to the extensive restoration of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Ms. Dall’Olio obtained practical, commercial design experience while employed by Joseph Pell Lombardi,an internationally-renowned architect/preservationist, who is credited with the Soho cast-iron loft residence conversion movement in the 1970s, as well as Cabrera-Barricklo, Architects, where, in other roles, she served as Job Captain for the multi-million dollar restoration and adaptive reuse of Sailor’s Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island, New York. Ms. Dall’Olio relocated to Martinsburg, West Virginia, with her husband and partner, Matthew W. Grove, in 1994, to establish Grove & Dall’Olio Architects PLLC. Her expertise in the field of preservation and historic architecture ensures authentication of the firm’s restoration assignments and brings timeless, classical architectural qualities to those projects which involve new construction.
