A practical, image-driven guide to planning historic exterior work

This case study shows how annotated photographs can document and guide restoration projects. It explains a careful planning approach used for the First Parish Church in Portland, Maine, and how photos become clear captions that communicate existing conditions and needed work. The book also covers how grant-funded projects are organized, evaluated, and documented from planning through construction, with an emphasis on historical preservation standards.

Learn how to frame a project with a clear scope, thoughtful documentation, and a strong communication framework.
See how professional investigations translate into practical specifications that guide contractors.
Understand how the seven conservation treatments—acquisition, protection, stabilization, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction—fit into real-world work.
Discover how to balance technical detail with accessible storytelling through photographs and captions.

Ideal for readers of historic preservation, architectural documentation, and project planning, this edition offers a concrete workflow for documenting and planning exterior work on a historic building.
