OLD AMERICAN HOUSES AND HOW TO RESTORE THEM

by Henry Lionell & Ottalie Williams ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 26, 1946

With an insistence on preserving- wherever possible- the charms of the old, this is a practical primer on the ownership of old American houses, an explanation of what you'll find where, what you'll need to restore- to repair- rather than change. With a description of the various types of old Colonials, the authors then give a complete coverage on hallmarks, house timber, rooftrees and rafters, walls, doors, floors, windows, hardware, hearths and chimneys, stairs, paints and plasters, removers and refinishers- always maintaining the intangibles of age and taste.
