With over 20 years of experience in hands-on historic preservation, Lindsay Jones is a nationally recognized leader in conservation practices. She believes that anyone with an interest in hands-on conservation has the potential to be a preservationist—a philosophy that has shaped and grown her company, Blind Eye Restoration.

As a recognized professional by the Association for Preservation Technology International, Lindsay has worked across the country, helping individuals and organizations achieve their preservation goals. Her expertise spans building assessments, sculpture restoration, and large-scale conservation projects. Notable projects include the Hartman Rock Garden (Springfield, OH), The Salmagundi Club (New York, NY), Stanford University’s Cantor Art Museum (Palo Alto, CA), Arts in Stark Public Art Collection (Canton, OH), and Asbury Church (Savannah, GA).

Beyond her restoration work, Lindsay is dedicated to education and advocacy. She leads hands-on conservation workshops for the public and teaches the Preservation Studio Arts class at Ft. Hayes Technical High School in partnership with Columbus Landmarks.

Her work has been featured in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Preservation Magazine, the Dumbarton House’s Women in Preservation exhibition, and the True Tales from Old Houses podcast. In 2024, the Ohio History Connection recognized two of Blind Eye Restoration’s projects with State Historic Preservation Awards for Excellence.
