The goal is of this presentation is to educate both historic homeowners and prospective historic home buyers on how to remain true to the home’s original glory and still make it functional for contemporary living. Moderated by Kyle Hoepner, editor of New England Home Magazine, the panel of experts includes Doug Hanna, president of S+H Construction and Sarah Lawson, S+H project manager; Andrew Sidford, principal of Andrew Sidford Architects, and Greg Galer, executive director of the Boston Preservation Alliance.

“We are so fortunate the Boston area has one of the richest and largest collections of historic residential architecture in the country,” states Hanna. “There are many challenges associated with bringing these gems back to their original glory, but the outcome is worth it. We’ve put together a panel of experts with first-hand experience working on historic properties. They will share their knowledge and answer questions; guests are encouraged to bring photos and enjoy a lively exchange of ideas.”
