Original porches are always character defining features of a historic house and often are found in poor condition due to their exposed locations. Preserving these features, or restoring them if lost, is key to maintaining or restoring the historic character of a house.
The repair and/or restoration of porches is covered in Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners. The 720-page best-selling hardcover book is available in bookstores and from online retailers (it is currently 36% off on Amazon! http://ow.ly/N7ba50y4PSL).
Signed copies are available directly from the author on this site. Amazon’s shipping time is currently delayed three weeks due to the Covid-19 crisis, but copies can be shipped from here within days following all CDC recommendations for safety. Some local bookstores are open for phone orders and pickup, they can order copies from W.W. Norton.
