SynopsisCan an old house be comfortable, convenient, and energy-efficient while retaining its historic features? You bet it can, and Restoring Your Historic House shows how. Whether your historic house is Colonial, Victorian, Craftsman, or Mid-Century Modern, its character-defining features-windows, moldings, shapes, and finishes-make it distinctive and special, and preserving those features should be a top priority when you adapt the house to modern life. A sensitive renovation is not only possible but often less expensive and always more satisfying. This manual makes the identification and preservation of your home's distinctive features the starting point for your renovation project, and if suggests many ways to save money along the way without compromising quality. Scott T. Hanson, a historic, preservation consultant with more than 40 years' experience, guides you through each restoration project with detailed instructions and hundreds of step-by-step photos. Interspersed throughout, are thirteen restored historic houses representing a range of architectural styles, including Italianate, Queen Anne, Federal, Colonial, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Ranch, Adobe, Bungahm, and Shingle. Architectural photographer David Clough captures the magnificent transformations that can emerge from thoughtful renovations., Although there are other books about renovating old houses, this is the first that prioritizes the identification and preservation of the historic, character-defining features of a house as a starting point in the process. That is the purpose of this book: to describe and illustrate a best-practices approach for updating historic homes for modern life in ways that do not attempt to turn an old house into a new one. The book also suggests many ways to save money in the process, without settling for cheap or inappropriate solutions. Scott Hanson is a historic-building preservation professional and has 40 years' experience rehabilitating historic houses. He has illustrated this authoritative book with hundreds of step-by-step photos, illustrations, charts, and decision-making guides. Interspersed throughout are photo essays of 13 restored historic houses representing a range of periods and architectural styles: Italianate, Victorian, Queen Anne, Federal, Colonial, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Ranch, Adobe, Craftsman, Shingle, and Rustic. With interior and exterior photography by David Clough, these multi-page features show what can be achieved when a historic home is renovated with a desire to preserve or restore as much historic character as possible., How to accommodate contemporary life in a historic house. This book does not repeat basic information that is readily available in many standard DIY books about carpentry, wiring, and plumbing. Rather, it shows how to adapt those DIY skills to the specialized needs of a historic house.
