Original porches are always a character defining feature of a house and should be preserved or restored if at all possible. Because of their exposure to the elements, porches are often deteriorated or missing when a restoration project begins. Physical evidence on the building and historic photos may provide important clues to guide restoration if all or part of the porch has disappeared over time.
Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners includes information on porch repair and designing appropriate and compatible replacements for porches that have been lost. The book will be in stores by December 10th and now available for pre-order on the Barnes & Noble, Powell’s Books, Target, and Walmart websites and on Amazon.
