Building Preservation Resources

A number of technical guides have been developed by The National Park Service to educate the public about proper approaches to preserving, rehabilitating and restoring historic buildings. These Preservation Briefs cover a wide range of topics including:

  • Exterior building additions
  • Cleaning methods for building exteriors
  • Siding treatments for historic wood frame buildings
  • Wooden window maintenance
  • Exterior paint problems
  • Historic storefront rehabilitation
  • Masonry maintenance practices
  • Use of substitute materials

A number of Preservation Briefs are available on-line, while others can be ordered directly from the National Park Service.
