PERIOD STYLE HOME DESIGN - SITES & SERVICES 

A new and fast-growing category, Sites & Services is a selective listing of period style architects, designers, fine home builders, properties for sale, museums and educational facilities, and tours.

Local research and word-of-mouth is often the best way to find a professional you can work with. Still, some specialties are narrow enough that it’s worth finding the expert, even if it means a long-distance relationship. Here is a somewhat self-selected listing of architects and designer–builders, landscape designers, interior designers and decorators, and real-estate agents who specialize in historic properties.

Here, too, are period house plans, period style home designs, travel opportunities, schools and seminars, books and magazines, museums and historic houses, and retail stores worth a pilgrimage. Choose from the sub-categories:

Period Style Architects & Design/Build: specialists in the design (or construction) of period-style homes

House Plans: stock and semi-custom plans by mail order

Landscaping: landscape architects and historic garden specialists

Interior Designers & Decorators: practitioners with experience in period interiors, including paint-decorators

Real Estate: historic homes and properties and fine reproduction homes

Travel: architectural tours, extraordinary historic hotels and inns

Education: college programs, ongoing workshops, artisan instruction, seminars in historic preservation, applied arts, crafts, and historical methods

Media: books and magazines and more, focused on period design
