In this workshop offered by the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society, Katie Hutchison, of Katie Hutchison Studio and published author of the best-selling The New Small House and The New Cottage, will discuss three case studies demonstrating the challenges of renovating and updating a historic home without sacrificing the home’s original charm or integrity. Each case study will offer important do’s and don'ts for historic homeowners and provide guidance on how to craft a renovation project that is sensitive to original historic material.
