New Blog Focuses on Midwest Preservation

We  have started a new broader based preservation blog at your request. This new blog Rustbelt Preservationist takes a look at Historic Preservation issues across the Midwest and focuses on promoting endangered properties and historic preservation opportunities. We expect to focus on Historic Preservation Bargains with our new Friday edition called "Friday Fix!" which will focus on preservation opportunities under 25K

This will allow us to focus this blog more on Historic Period Design, antiques, our restoration work and Victoriana in general. We hope you will check out Rustbelt Preservationist and add it too your reading list. Don't forget to support our sponsors and advertisers who make bringing this information to you possible.
