Archi-teacher A hands-on project for Third Grade Students Demonstrating and explaining the various styles Of Architecture Found in the Historic Buildings of Old Town Tustin California Created by Tustin Preservation Conservancy This project was created by the Tustin Preservation Conservancy solely for educational uses ©2012 Archi-Teacher is a history and three dimensional art project designed for third grade students to coordinate with the History of Tustin Curriculum. It helps connect students to the past and the physical and cultural landscape of their community. The hands-on project illustrates and explains the various styles of architecture found in the historic structures in Old Town Tustin. The Old Town Tustin Historic District celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2013, but many of its homes and commercial buildings were built in the Primary Settlement period of Tustin between 1880 and 1910. Archi-Teacher presents 12 of these structures for the students to study and construct by themselves and then form into the village that was Tustin between the 1880’s and the 1920’s. All but one of the structures are still in use today. They can be viewed by the students as they tour Old Town Tustin with their class or with their family. They can see for themselves how our community has changed and how it has stayed the same. Also included are two early forms of transportation, the horse-drawn trolley that ran in the late 1800’s and the first motorized fire truck which is on display at the Tustin Historical Museum.
