Building Doctors Hold Seven Clinics in 2009
The Ohio Historical Society's Building Doctors will hold clinics in
Dover May 7-8;
Huron May 14-15;
Granville June 4-5;
Richfield July 23-24;
Marysville August 6-7;
Ashland August 20-21;
and Alliance September 10-11, 2009.
The "doctors" work in teams, teaching old-building owners how to recognize and solve some of the
most common sources of problems in maintaining older buildings, and how to make informed decisions
about repairs and improvements.
Each clinic begins with a free seminar on topics like peeling paint, failing plaster, wet basements,
deteriorating masonry, damaged wood, window repair, and bringing buildings built before 1955 up to
date without sacrificing features that make them appealing.
On the following day, the Building Doctors make the rounds of ailing buildings within five miles
of the facility where the seminar was held to examine problems and prescribe cures. Their
consultations are free, however you must ask for an appointment when you
register in advance, and you must attend the free seminar to qualify. The Building Doctors visit
all kinds of buildings built before 1955; schools, churches, factories, stores, offices,
farm buildings, and homes.
The program is a service of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Ohio's official historic
preservation agency. A part of the Ohio Historical Society, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office
identifies historic places in Ohio, nominates properties to the National Register of Historic
Places, reviews federally-assisted projects for effects on historic, architectural, and
archaeological resources in Ohio, consults on the conservation of older buildings and sites, and
offers educational programs and publications.
