Hello, Preservation organizations involved in facilitating moves for buildings headed for demolition will be interested in a new book from AltaMira Press in the AASLH History Book Series: Moving A House With Preservation In Mind by structural engineer Peter Paravalos. The press is at www.altamirapress.com or 1-800-462-6420. Its history and detailed practice information as well as case studies that include the Joshua Wentworth House at Strawbery Banke, should help avoid unnecessary losses to moved buildings and bolster the chances for detailed moving agreements in demolition delay cases.
