I

sale, i am frequently called upon to advise my clients regarding
renovations. i always recommend approaching them with a very light
hand, and certainly with the assistance of a skilled architect who
knows and understands the style of the house and the era in which it
was built. Preserving our architectural patrimony from every era is a
paramount consideration of mine.
For those of my readers who are not members of the national
Trust for historic Preservation, i would heartily encourage you to
support this worthy organization. The Trust has been a great source
of inspiration to me and an unfailing guide in providing sound advice
to my clients who are planning renovations.
