Author Steve Jordan and his book, "The Historic House Handbook"

Maintaining and repairing old homes requires sensitivity, a commitment to preserving historic characteristics, and an understanding of modern functionality. Author and restoration expert Steve Jordan provides guidance for homeowners in his new book, "The Historic House Handbook: A Sensitive Guide for Old-House Living." This hour, we talk with him about what homeowners need to know: design concepts; material availability; and how to navigate difficult decisions, especially in 2025. We also hear from local homeowners about how they've revitalized their old homes. Our guests:

• Steve Jordan, author of "The Historic House Handbook: A Sensitive Guide for Old-House Living" and historic preservation and window restoration expert
• Megan Klem, director of preservation services for the Landmark Society of Western New York
• Bradley Huber, Irondequoit resident and old house DIYer
• Ellen Olah, Rochester resident who is restoring her 1870s home
