Local youth and their parents were recently invited by architect Alex Paulson to recreate the Roswell historic district, specifically Canton Street.

Children of all ages - from one-year-old to early teens - showed up to take part in the art project at Paulson's office in the Roswell Mill, Friday, July 27. Paulson personally photographed local historic homes and buildings prior to the project. Children used the photographs, which will be given to the city, as inspiration for their own drawings.

Paulson's staff will organize and frame the drawings to hang in the conference room, he says.
