Item Description
Hardcopy, new in wrapping, by Heritage Preservation, Gordon Bock, U. S. Staf, Heritage Preservation and National Park, 1998
A house is considered historic if it is typical of its period, usually more than 50 years old, and significant in either design, materials, workmanship, setting, and/or association. Many people live in historic houses and need to understand the importance of ongoing care and maintenance in preserving the qualities that make their homes and properties unique. Now, 22 leading preservationists provide expert advice, illustrated with photographs and explanatory line drawings, on every aspect of the subject, including:
-- structural systems, roofs, and windows
-- masonry, woodwork, plaster, paint, and wallpapers
-- mechanical and electrical systems
-- kitchens and bathrooms
-- landscaping
-- fire protection, insurance appraisals, and tax and estate planning
-- developing and carrying out a maintenance plan
-- identifying appropriate materials and procedures for repair
-- determining if professional help is needed, and choosing the best help available
