The Architectural Heritage Center's Old House Fair is back for its third year! For old house owners and enthusiasts, this is an event not to be missed. Mark your calendar, gather your photos and questions, and make plans to spend the day with the best old house experts in the Northwest.
Outside, under a tent adjacent to the AHC, many of our business members will share their knowledge of old home renovation and showcase their goods and services. Inside the AHC, this free public event will also include numerous short programs and demonstrations pertaining to period-authentic renovation on topics ranging from “What Style is My House?” to “House History” to kitchens, bathrooms, historic colors, exteriors, and energy efficiency.
