At the core of Richaven’s philosophy and project is experience on historic preservation projects. We take historic preservation in a broad sense to include work rehabilitating, restoring, and renovating existing buildings. A building does not have to be historically significant to be valued by their community. Designation of a landmark does not mean that a building is frozen in time. We believe that the Secretary’s Standards give a framework through which to view work on a building which is respectful of it’s historic nature.
