Maintaining and repairing historic buildings are essential parts of downtown revitalization. Key maintenance issues must be addressed early to save building owners time and money and to keep historic buildings standings for future generations. This well illustrated presentation explores the necessary maintenance of common historic building materials, and it discusses the typical causes of their deterioration. Included are a basic checklist (click here to download check list) to help the Main Street Design Committee evaluate downtown buildings and a helpful basic maintenance schedule (click here to download maintenance schedule) to distribute to building owners.
