Buying Time for Heritage: How to Save an Endangered Historic Property

J. Myrick Howard

Preservation North Carolina has employed common real estate strategies to save more than 500 endangered properties from destruction. President Myrick Howard provides practical tips on how a neighborhood, downtown, or preservation group can get involved in beneficial real estate work with only modest resources. Inspiring photographs illustrate the premise that a property is rarely "too far gone" to renovate, and the rewards are abundant.

Probably the best book ever written on how to do preservation in the real world. Based on Howard's thirty years of experience running a revolving fund, it contains essential lessons for all preservationists on how to accomplish more with less. Engagingly written for a "can do" audience, the book makes clear that success in saving buildings depends less on huge endowments than every-day business "smarts." It should be the lead book on every preservationist's bookshelf.
