| A house is considered
historic if it is typical of its period, usually more that 50 years
old, and significant in either design, materials, workmanship, setting,
and/or association. This work provides advice on the ongoing care
and maintenance of such properties, and in the preservation of the
qualities which make such homes unique. Advice is provided by 22 expert
preservationists, illustrated with photographs and explanatory line
drawings, on the care and maintenance of historic homes. Every aspect
is covered, including structural systems, roofs, windows, masonry,
woodwork, paint, plaster, wallpapers, bathrooms, kitchens, landscaping,
fire protection, insurance appraisals, identifying appropriate materials
and procedures for repair, determining whether professional help is
needed, and choosing the right help. Advice is given on developing
and carrying out a maintenance plan. |
