Good for the planet. Good for your wallet. Good for your building. Check out our Resources page, especially our publication about saving original windows. Old windows can be restored and storms added for energy efficiency. New windows get you into a regular replacement schedule and cost you in the long run.

Listing on the National Register of Historic Places means your house has been officially certified as old and special! We'll let the National Park Service explain the details: "Under Federal Law, the listing of a property in the National Register places no restrictions on what a non-federal owner may do with their property up to and including destruction, unless the property is involved in a project that receives Federal assistance, usually funding or licensing/permitting.

There may be state or local preservation laws that a property owner should be aware of before they undertake a project with a historic property. We recommend you, or the property owner, contact the State historic preservation office (SHPO) before an action with a listed property is taken. The SHPO is the state agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in their state."
