The Art and Puzzle of Historic Restoration 

Join Kimberly Hillen—local historic homeowner, realtor, Clarkdale Historic Preservation Commission member, and restoration enthusiast—for an essential guide to revitalizing historic properties without losing their soul. This presentation bridges the gap between preserving architectural integrity and implementing modern necessities. Featuring a panel of expert tradespeople, we explore the "Big Five" of restoration: balancing modernity with tradition, securing structural foundations, navigating regulatory red tape, managing hazardous materials, and budgeting for the "historic premium." Whether you’re a current homeowner or a prospective buyer, you’ll walk away with a practical framework for keeping your home’s history intact and your budget on track.

This event is free to the public, though donations are gratefully accepted.
