The buildings and structures that we see everyday help tell the stories of not only ourselves, but of our communities.  The American Institute of Conservation provides these guidelines for taking care of architecture.  People generally think of "architecture" in terms of buildings like houses, churches, and stores that are a familiar part of most landscapes. Conservators, however, use the term "architecture" to encompass a much broader range of structures including not only buildings but subway stations, large public monuments, and bridges. This brochure addresses concerns and questions you might have about a structure for which you are responsible.
