#Repost @restoringyourhistorichouse ・・・ Finding appropriate exterior lighting for historic houses can be a challenge. For houses built before the advent of electric light, hanging a lantern by the door was the most common method used - with candles or oil lamps. Fixtures are widely available with faux candles for candle bulbs and do an okay job of feeling appropriate for an early house. This fixture at Colonial Williamsburg is more subtle and more effective, using a hidden bulb in the top of the fixture to shine down on a wax candle. http://bit.ly/1WlSJbn Restoring Your Historic House is filled with suggestions for more subtle and more effective methods to integrate modern conveniences into historic houses.

Via @restoringyourhistorichouse . A Bar Harbor summer cottage of the 1870s. Named the "Stick Style" by the great architectural historian Vincent Scully, these mid-to-late 19th century houses were never particularly common. The characteristic trim elements of the style are very exposed to the weather and many houses have lost them over time - making preservation of surviving examples all the more important. Learn more about this and two dozen other styles in Chapter 2 of Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.
