Get Hands-on Help with Older Homes
We blog about modern construction all of the time, but what if you're an aspiring owner of an historic home? These homes may require a bit more attention than a new or updated home. The Preservation Alliance of Philadelphia is holding a series of workshops with hands-on demonstrations and visuals on how to restore and maintain older properties. All workshops will be held at the Coral Street Arts House in East Kensington.
In addition to the workshops, there will be lectures in Fairmount for further insight on historic home buying and owning.
All Fairmount workshops start at 6:30pm.
Location: Fairmount Community Development Corporation, 2206 Fairmount Avenue, Philadelphia
