Preservation Basics
Historic
preservation has many advantages, but most of all, it is simply a
matter of good sense. And becoming a preservationist doesn't
require learning lots of esoteric vocabulary, buying an old house,
or suffering through a boring lecture. Fun, everyday
activities, such as going to the movies and taking a walk, are great
ways to enjoy America's heritage and protect it at the same time.
Choosing An Appropriate Treatment
Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, or Reconstruction
Rooted in over 120 years of preservation ethics in both Europe and
America, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties are common sense principles in non-technical
language.
