New living in old houses

"To restore, to renovate, or to remodel; this is a choice that faces many owners and potential owners of older structures. In the introduction to this illuminating book, the author points out that the major part of the activity in this field is undertaken in the interests of restoration, but that the line dividing the three categories is often blurred. His thirty-seven "case histories" from the United States and Europe show in great detail the sensitive and creative fashion in which architects and architectural firms have tackled the problem." --
