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.
