    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course explores the materials, methods and resources available to American architects of the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries, and the means to preserve their structures today. Historic Construction and Preservation will provide preservation professionals with information needed to analyze, modify, and certify historic buildings for modern use. A survey of data on period structural components, such as foundations, masonry walls, and wood, wrought-iron, and cast-iron columns and beams will provide a basis to determine loads that structural components were originally designed to bear and methods to determine if they are still capable of performing as intended. Demonstrations of production or fabrication methods for stone, brick, mortar, paints and wood framing and trim will give first-hand knowledge to preservation specialists. Acceptable practices for structural rehabilitation will be discussed and evaluated. Students completing this course will have the basis for understanding the process used to build historic structures and the means to preserve them.
