Historic Renovation
Historic renovation and re-use are particularly delicate forms of
architecture. They demand active research and a desire to understand a
building's contribution yesterday as well as its potential contribution in the
future.
The historic renovation of homes and buildings has become a very popular
movement across North America. The National Trust for Historic
Preservation (http://www.nationaltrust.org/) provides
grants and guidance to organizations and individuals who are interested in
renovating and/or preserving historical buildings.
The
Victorian Lady
Hartford, Conn. / Northside Institutions
Neighborhood Alliance, Inc.
The Victorian Lady was constructed in 1890 as
a single-family home in the then-affluent neighborhood of Asylum Hill. The Queen
Anne-style home drew the attention and admiration of its neighbors, among them
Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Preservation Easements:
For property owners looking to permanently protect their historic
properties, one of the most effective legal tools available is the
preservation easement a private legal interest conveyed by a
property owner to a preservation organization or to a government entity. Read
more about preservation easements here...
Some Simple Guidelines to Follow when Restoring or Renovating Your
House:
- Try to retain the original character of the house -
don't "over-restore" the building.
- Pay attention to details.
- Try to stick to materials that were used when your house was built.
- Keep elements like color, flooring, within the same historical period as
your house.
- Understand and respect as far as possible the original uses of rooms.
- If fencing your property, look at genuine old fences, observe the way
they are designed and constructed.
- Garden design will best complement your work on the building if you keep it
in period with the house. Use plants and garden layouts of the time.
- Additions and alterations should be in the manner and materials of the
period in which your house was built.
- Remember that it's a house, not a museum. Live in it and enjoy it and,
at the right time, pass it on to someone else.
