A Queen Anne style porch being restored. This wonderful porch is located in the Silk Stocking Historic District in Talladega, AL. 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.
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.
