Description

This introduction to historic preservation goes way past the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and shows how wood, stone, masonry, and metal were used previously and how adaptive re-use may also be employed to bring brand new amenities to historic structures. The book covers all aspects of the outside and interior building fabric, including windows, roofing, doors, porches, and electrical and mechanical systems for both residential and small-scale commercial buildings. Richly illustrated with photographs showing typical elements of historic buildings, decay mechanisms, and remediation techniques, the book also accommodates various useful case studies and includes a companion Site that provides dozens of additional images and resources.
