Paperback. Condition: New. This is a definitive guide to the materials used in architecture during the past century, as well as tips on building repair and restoration. Over the concluding decades of the 20th-century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service and first published in 1995.

Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume.…
