Architectural Value
|
|
The Pelham Preservation & Garden Society is committed to providing homeowners with the resources needed to achieve
the best possible results in restoring and preserving historic homes. The best way to obtain this information is by
becoming a member, which will give you access to our Historic Resource Guide, advice on accessing historic photos and documents
about your home and access to a communal pool of salvaged architectural elements and materials collected by our
members.
This website
is provided through the generosity of our members to provide information to assist homeowners in home improvement projects,
including a bulletin board with comments and reviews from our members regarding individuals and businesses that provide preservation-minded
restoration and maintenance services in Pelham. Also provided below are Preservation
Briefs from the National Park Service discussing the pros and cons of various restoration techniques.
