Taking care of an older home can be a special challenge. To give homeowners a helping hand, Victoria Heritage Foundation has produced a series of brochures, in partnership with the Vancouver Heritage Foundation and Heritage BC. The five brochures provide practical information to help the homeowner maintain, restore and appreciate their older home.
