How to Save a House: Pathways to Preservation,
How do you save a property from the wrecking ball or insensitive alterations? There is a large toolbox available to would-be preservationists, but it takes forward-thinking to ensure a house survives into the future. We will cover the menu of options available to protect properties – the National Register, historic districts, preservation easements, and more! - and how these tools differ from one another. This lecture will take place through Facebook Live on April 27 at 7pm.
