Historic restoration is defined by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards as the depiction of a building at a particular time in its history by preserving materials from the period of significance and removing materials from other periods.
D. T. Mistick & Co. collaborates with individuals and preservation organizations across the country when addressing restoration of historic museums and buildings in historic sites, parks, and districts. We will address any construction technique preformed outside of the period of significance, work with a design professional on addressing proper protocol for removal, and dispatch our talented craftsmen to perform the work as outlined by historical research and documentation.
Case Study
Settled in 1825 and located just 18 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Old Economy Village was once home to the influential German Harmony Society. The historic district still contains more than a dozen major Harmonist buildings.
The Great House, home of the founder George Rapp, contains architectural details not found in any other building in the community. These details include classical frontispieces, carved stone steps, decorative transoms, a two story rear porch, and a central staircase with a hand carved banister.
