Indiana Workshop: Historic & Older Homes

Your Neighborhood, Your Home, Terre Haute, Indiana, June 20-21, 1997

The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana holds its annual meeting on
Friday, June 20, with Preservation Demonstrations the following day at the
1892 Romanesque Revival Presbyterian Church on Washington Avenue.

John Leeke, heads up the morning forum with presentations on Planning a
Rehab: Survey, Assessment & Treatments. Comprehensive surveys and detailed
assessments help you set goals and provide a focus for planning  effective
treatments. He will also cover Organizing and Phasing a Restoration
Project. Spreading work out over a few or several years can ease budget
constraints and give you a chance to learn as you go. A strong maintenace
program can substitute for a costly major project.

John is a nationally recognized preservation consultant from Portland,
Maine, who helps owners, contractors and architects understand and
maintain their older and historic buildings. He is a Contributing Editor
for Old-House Journal and publisher of the Practical Restoration Reports.
The day's presentations also include historic landscapes and craft
demonstrations on plaster repair, wood windows, floor refinishing,
exterior color analysis, and energy efficiency.

The $50. registration fee includes a box lunch and reception. For more

I want to make this workshop as useful as possible. Are there any specific
topics you would like to have covered?
