Historic Structures Reports: A Management Tool for Historic Properties
Mount Vernon, VA — March 20, 2012
The core of any historic property management program is accurate information about the building. This seminar will explore the historic structures report—the principal tool used to document a site’s history, condition, and maintenance—and emerging technologies, such as computer-aided facilities management programs. An agenda is available online at www.npi.org<http://www.npi.org>.
Preservation Maintenance: Understanding and Preserving Historic Buildings
Mount Vernon, VA — March 21-22, 2012
Performing—or not performing—minor maintenance often can have unintended consequences. Learn how to read your building and understand the effects of daily, monthly, and annual maintenance activities between larger capital projects. Identifying, caring for, and maintaining historic materials is critical to this process. Discuss the nature of building materials, how they age, and how they fail. Learn when to bring in a specialist to help identify the problem or a contractor to handle a specific task. An agenda is available online at www.npi.org<http://www.npi.org>.
Instructor: Alfonso A. Narvaez, principal, Aeon Preservation Services LLC, with experience on technical preservation projects nationwide; formerly principal architectural conservator with John Milner Associates, Inc. and historical architect with the National Park Service
