Scott T. Hanson of Your Historic House joined the Practical Preservation podcast to discuss his book, Restoring Your Historic House, the result of 4 years of hard work and dedication to present a practical and comprehensive guide for historic homeowners. We covered a multitude of topics including:
- How the present-day Conway Scenic Railroad and train station served as a catalyst for Scott’s passion for preservation
- Scott’s observation that a dearth of information on preservation for homeowners necessitated filling that gap, and inspired him to write his book
- Lessons, challenges, and resources for aspiring preservationists and homeowners
- Advice for homeowners interested in preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation, including practical examples of ways to offset costs
- The book’s detailed inspiring stories of homeowners’ projects, including a description a local Central PA project featured in (and on the front cover!) of the book
- Information on book-purchasing options and opportunities to meet Scott

I have a beautiful 95 year old home with a high ceiling and large Cornish original plaster crown molding. The problem is trying to preserve the crown while repairing the ceiling that is constantly cracking.
The ceiling was replaced in 2018 .
