The "doctors" work in teams, teaching old-building owners how to recognize and solve some of the
most common sources of problems in maintaining older buildings, and how to make informed decisions
about repairs and improvements.
Each clinic begins with a free seminar on topics like peeling paint and failing plaster, wet
basements, deteriorating masonry, window, wood issues, and many other topics, and bringing
buildings built before 1955 up to date without sacrificing historic integrity.
On the following day, the Building Doctors make the rounds of ailing buildings within five miles
of the facility where the seminar was held to examine problems and prescribe cures. Their
consultations are free, however they are limited and you must ask for an appointment with the
Building Doctor when you register for an on-site consultation in advance, and attend the free
seminar to qualify. The Building Doctors visit all kinds of pre-1955 buildings —
schools, churches, factories, stores, offices farmbuildings, and homes. You'll be contacted in
advance to set up an appointment.
The program is a service of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Ohio's official historic
preservation agency. A part of the Ohio Historical Society, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office
identifies historic places in Ohio, nominates properties to the National Register of Historic
Places, reviews federally-assisted projects for effects on historic, architectural, and
archaeological resources in Ohio, consults on the conservation of older buildings and sites, and
offers educational programs and publications.
