The Economical Historic Home: Energy Efficiency Workshop for the Old
House Owner
When: Tuesday, February 16, 12:30 – 4:00 p.m.
Where: Buliod-Perry House, 29 Touro Street, Newport, R.I.
Phone: 401-849-7300
How to care for your old house, protect Rhode Island's heritage, and
help save the planet! Do you love your historic home but hate the high
heating bills and wasted energy? Learn how to make your old home more
"green," saving money and energy without losing its historic character.
The fully-restored Buliod-Perry House (c. 1750) in the heart of historic
Newport is the setting for this workshop. Experts will present
information and demonstrations on insulation, weatherizing the building
envelope (walls, doors, roof, etc.), wood window repair and restoration,
retrofitting for efficient heating systems, and tax credits and funding
sources.

Bring the kids too: fun, hands-on educational activities will be
provided during the workshop (elsewhere on-site; additional charge
applies). Suitable for children ages 6 to 12, they will learn about
colonial life in Rhode Island. 
 
A joint program of Historic New England, Newport Restoration
Foundation, Preserve Rhode Island and the Providence Revolving Fund
 
Registration required ($25 general public, $20 Historic New England,
Preserve Rhode Island members). For more information:
