Publisher's Synopsis
In clear and comprehensive chapters, the authors explain the technical aspects of inspecting, maintaining, and restoring a greystone home.

The book effectively educates greystone owners on restoration methods that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, financially sustainable, and historically aware.
