Reading that inspires.
Greater Portland Landmarks publishes a quarterly community newspaper, the Maine Restoration Directory, and books on local architecture and history for children and adults.
The 2010 Maine Restoration Directory includes tradespeople, consultants, businesses, and organizations that focus on historic preservation, building restoration, and traditional construction methods. They can help as you plan repairs and renovations to your older house or barn, restore and improve commercial, religious, and institutional properties, and plan new construction with traditional style. Dowload your free copy below!
You will find masons, plasterers, timber frame specialists, woodworkers, stained glass artists, preservation consultants, and many others in the Directory! In addition, we have included articles from our newspaper, The Landmarks Observer, on topics of interest to those who are working on older buildings.
