Preservation Brown Bag Walk
Friday, June 7

Noon to 1:30 p.m. 
"Rescued and Being Rehabbed"

Dear Friends of HSF ~

HSF will hold its monthly Preservation Brown Bag on Friday, June 7 from noon to 1:30 p.m. by conducting a tour of two North Jefferson Street houses. We will discuss neighborhood revitalization and the efforts of the property owners to rescue these properties with great potential.  

We will meet and begin the tour at 122 North Jefferson Street at noon. Attendees will have the opportunity to walk through and see the construction in progress.

Access is limited because the properties are located on steep lots that require stairs. These are construction projects, so please dress accordingly. Please park on West Frederick Street and walk up to Jefferson Street. Stay on the sidewalks and please respect the neighboring properties and drives.

Reuse Matters. Building reuse typically offers greater environmental savings than demolition and new construction. It can take between 10 to 80 years for a new energy efficient building to overcome, through efficient operations, the climate change impacts created by its construction.  Excerpt from The National Trust for Historic Resources “The Environmental Value of Building Reuse.”
