Summary:

"This is a book about understanding old buildings. In an era in which much of the United States landscape has been littered by unimaginative, prefabricated structures, James L. Garvin tells owners and world-be owners of old buildings in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont what they need to know before they begin the restoration process." "Written for both homeowners and those responsible for public and museum structures, this book provides an understanding of the region's building history and specifically answers questions that most often perplex architects and preservationists. Illustrated throughout, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in American and New England architecture and the building trades."--Jacket.
