Only decayed and missing flat plaster and ornamental elements were completely replicated and replaced.
This guide enables you to identify, and place in their historic and architectural contexts, the houses you see in your neighborhood or in your travels across America.

Climate control is an important consideration for historic building maintenance. We are all familiar with the large temperature swings experienced in the Northeast climate, and buildings experience temperatures ranging from -30° below freezing to 100° in the sun just like we do! Just as we desire cooling relief and the warmth of the furnace for our quality of life- buildings need these things just as much to preserve their quality. Significant fluctuations in building temperature directly (and possibly negatively) impact the longevity of your preservation efforts.
If patches of peeling paint on a ceiling or flakes of paint chips littering the room is a familiar site in your old house, your ceiling likely has a past that includes calcimine paint. Used throughout the 19th and into the early third of the 20th century, calcimine paint was a very popular and economical solution to give interior surfaces a fresh coating.
