“Patricia Poore is Editor-in-chief of Old-House Journal and Arts & Crafts Homes, as well as editorial director at Active Interest Mediaโs Home Group, overseeing New Old House, Traditional Building, and special-interest publications.ย
Poore joined OHJ when it was a Brooklyn-brownstoner newsletter in the late 1970s. She became owner and publisher and, except for the years 2002โ2013, has been its editor. Poore founded the magazines Old-House Interiors (1995โ2013) and Early Homes (2004โ2017); their content is now available online and folded into Old-House Journalโs wider coverage. Poore also created GARBAGE magazine (1989โ1994), the first unaffiliated environmental consumer magazine.
Poore has participated, hands-on, in several restorations, including her own homes: a 1911 brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and a 1904 TudorโShingle Style house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she brought up her boys and their wonderful dogs.”
