Why Almost Everyone is Wrong about the Place of Historic Restorations and House Museums in Modern Historic Preservation Efforts

Record #:
30542
Abstract:
A call for the use of full historic restorations and the development of House Museums in a time where these practices are declining. This article suggests "adaptive use" has its place, but for some unique historic examples, compromise in use and structural change should be avoided. When a historic site is adapted for modern use the building's historic character is often overlooked.
