We met 5th period, and started the discussion with going over my schedule for the week. My mentor (L. Augustine) knew the owner of the Argo's Inn, which I had planned to visit on Saturday as an example of a well done restoration. She texted the owner (A. Smith), and hopefully I will be able to talk to him or an employee about the Argos. My plan for the week is ambitious, and we talked about if I can't meet it we will work on setting realistic goals. She gave me several sources I should try use to find more information on the history of the house. She told me to look for past Los Angeles news articles, also to write to the Los Angeles history center to try to get the records for the house.
When I look for old pieces of the house I might need she recommended going to significant elements. Ask them for recommendation on how to repair a house from the 1910; or places in Ithaca that could help. She said to ask the Ithaca History center what they might know about who to go to in Ithaca that might have more insight. Look for the decedents of Beckett to find out more about what happened to them in LA. Last we went over my plans for the finial product.
