For help with the
hands-on challenges of historic rehabilitations, see the three sections
below. "Preservation Briefs" provide in-depth technical
assistance summaries on common problems that arise in maintaining
and rehabilitating a historic property. You will also note that two listings
deal
with appeals for tax credit applications and photographic documentation used in tax credit
applications. The "Technical Assistance Articles," taken
from Preservation in Progress newsletters, are here for
easy reference. "Web sites" takes you to sites that
deal with specific types of historic resources.

BARN
AGAIN! shows how historic barns can be adapted for new farming uses
ranging from dairy, hog, and cattle operations to machinery or grain
storage. Barn preservation techniques have proven to be cost-effective
alternatives to tearing down the old barn and putting up a new building.
The BARN AGAIN! program provides
advice, information, and referrals to an average of 700 barn owners each
year.
