FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



OLD HOUSE FAIR MAKES OWNING AN OLD HOME FUN



NASHVILLE --The Metro Historic Zoning Commission, in conjunction with the Metro Historical Commission Foundation and Tennessee Preservation Trust, is pleased to announce the second annual Old House Fair on Saturday March 9, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m at The Cohn School, 4805 Park Avenue, Nashville.



The Old House Fair is a FREE day-long festival that introduces property owners to new ideas, practical advice, innovative materials, and quality services through exhibitors, presentations and hands-on demonstrations. An exciting addition this year is the opportunity for children to learn more about historic architecture through guided craft projects. Vintage Millworks will be helping children construct wood bird houses from salvaged lumber, while educating them about the importance of reusing building materials and protecting wildlife. Another hands-on session will educate about architectural details, form and style while they build their own cardboard interpretations of an old house.



Lectures and hands-on demonstrations focus on enhancing energy efficiency, maintaining and restoring old houses, and appropriate design elements for the architectural styles and eras found here in Nashville. “We will have a full range of sessions,” said historic zoning administrator Robin Zeigler, “everything from how to hire a contractor, to how to navigate the Metro permitting process, to how to repair old windows or make a decision on replacement windows.” Even if you are not a DIYer, these sessions will help you know what to look for and what to ask for when planning projects for your old home. David Currey, president of the Tennessee Preservation Trust, noted that presenters not only know their topic well but that they will also be entertaining. “For example,” revealed Mr. Currey, “Andrew Ward, former host of WLAC’s home improvement show, will be presenting ‘ Flushed Away: Getting Creative with Old Plumbing.’” The entire schedule of lectures and hands-on demonstrations and exhibitor’s list will soon be available online at www.oldhousefair.org .



Participants will have a chance to talk to exhibitors and get advice and information on their specific projects. Exhibitors include companies that specialize in old houses, and retailers and artists who cater to owners of Antebellum, Victorian, Bungalow, Tudor and Mid-century Modern homes.



We are excited to hold the Old House Fair in the West Nashville area this year,” stated Ann Eaden, president of the Metro Historical Commission Foundation. “Last year we were in East Nashville and next year we plan to be in the 12 South Neighborhood. There are many communities throughout the country who offer this type of fair and we are pleased that, thanks to our sponsors, we can provide the same type of entertaining learning environment here in Nashville.” Sponsors include City Paper , Vintage Millworks, Historic Nashville, Inc., Dale Inc., and Nashville Home Energy Solutions.
