[MassHistPres] New Member, and a question

[Lisa Dady]

Hi Jonathan,
I echo Barbara’s recommendation of Sally Zimmerman. I have seen her lectures that specifically address insulation in old houses.

Also, tonight we are hosting a program about energy efficiency improvements to old houses. We have three experts, any one of whom may be able to recommend specific contractors and things to consider as you hire. If you can’t make it tonight, they may be willing to answer your questions offline. Here is the info:

Join Historic Newton’s Energy Efficiency for Old Homes panel discussion and Q&A on the new date Tuesday, April 3 at 6:30pm, at the Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds (286 Waverley Avenue, Newton).

Can you make your home more energy efficient while still respecting its historic character? Yes!

Hello,

You might want to reach out to Sally Zimmerman at Historic New England. HNE did a weatherization project at the Lyman Estate and may have some information about contractors. They also have some good information on their website about the Lyman Estate project and others: https://www.historicnewengland.org/preservation/for-professionals-students/energy-efficiency/

Best,

Hello Everyone,

I am a new member, recommended by Lorie Komlyn, and a volunteer member of the House Committee at the Loring Greenough House in JP.  As an introduction, I am a retired psychologist and fan of old houses, who lives in one in Central JP.

Question: At the Loring Greenough, we need to insulate several areas of the house. One is area the ceiling of the main house, which is accessible through a crawl space. The other area is in the kitchen wall. As an historic house, we are looking for a contractor who is familiar with historic houses and their preservation, while upgrading as needed. Please make recommendations.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan Brush
