Restore Jacksonville may be over, but the work on your old house and our city's architectural treasures has just begun!
If you attended the conference, you learned how the “skin” of your old house functions, and how to restore and adapt it for modern systems and needs without compromising its historical character. You met neighbors who share your enthusiasm for preservation, and got practical restoration advice from keynote speaker, John Leeke, as well as local preservationists, conservation experts, city officials, architects and craftsmen.
We hope you'll let us know what you liked about Restore Jacksonville, as well as what you didn't. We also want to hear your ideas for what you want to see featured in future educational initiatives!
One of our guiding principals in developing Restore Jacksonville was the recognition that historic preservation is community driven, and that good information can empower us to become better stewards of our historical neighborhoods. In that spirit, we hope you'll share with us your own favorite preservation resources and websites so that we can build a comprehensive reference list for our community.
