As part of our continuing education about (and appreciation of) old houses, we buy books, attend seminars, and tour old house museums wherever we find them. Many of the molding combinations, bracket designs, and other unique features to be found scattered throughout our portfolio, are ideas that we have adapted from one or another of these resources. Some of our favorites can be found in the following links. Many of these organizations offer further resources, from books and seminars, to specialty suppliers of all types.
