Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings was founded in 1877, if this article is going to make extravagent claims like '“founding father” of historic preservation' and “godfather of preservation" then perhaps it should make clear what conservation principles Peterson developed. He certainly did not create historic conservation ab nihilo.

Point taken. As the author of the article, however, I am not making the claim that Peterson was the "founding father." If you look at the references of these quotes, the American Institute of Architects and professionals and academics in the field of historic preservation are making this claim. Reading in-between the lines, I do think, however, that Peterson is being referred to as the "founding father" of professional historic preservation in the United States. I absolutely agree that individuals such as Ruskin or Morris established the precepts of preservation much earlier, but not in a professional nor U.S. context.
