The Care and Conservation of Georgian Houses; A Maintenance Manual
London: Architectural Press, 1981. Reprint of 1980 edition. Paperback. Quarto, pp. 225, indexed, illustrated with b/w photographs and drawings. As New in Wraps. Item #22180
Although our stock of Georgian buildings is still sadly diminishing, there is also a strong and growing movement for their care, conservation and re-use. This is a task which requires not only aesthetic sensitivity but also a great deal of hard technical knowledge about the materials and construction methods employed throughout the structure and the fabric of the building. This manual was developed for owners and architects involved in the care of the wealth of Georgian buildings in what is recognized as being one of the most architecturally distinguished parts of the Scottish capital. The value and interest of this manual was immediately recognized as going far beyond local boundaries; it is in fact a model for anyone - house owner, local authority or architect - who is responsible for the care and upkeep of a stone-built 18th-century building.
