Through our twitter feed @GVHeritage we capture a lot of interesting and useful information. Here is a recent selection.
From the Natural Resources Defense Council we have an excellent piece extolling the virtues of reusing and recycling older buildings. They quote architect Carl Elefante, who coined the wonderful phrase, “the greenest building is one that is already built,” because you don’t have to use environmental resources in constructing its replacement.
Urban Studies has an interactive map of fruit trees in Vancouver, including Grandview.
And for the hands-on amongst us, the Old House Web has a useful guide to preserving ornamental decoration in heritage houses.
