Why should I be concerned with the historic character of my home?

Each home contributes to the overall charm and historic character of our City's neighborhoods. The original wood siding and carpentry details of your home are authentic and unique. Vinyl should be thoughtfully and carefully applied to protect as many of the details that contribute to the historic character of a home as possible.
