Scott T. Hanson has thought deeply about the renovation of historic homes in his 40 years as a designer, carpenter, municipal district regulator, historic preservation consultant, and architectural historian. His own fifteen-year renovation of a historic house, doing most of the work himself, allowed him to put his ideas to the test and to learn from his mistakes while accumulating the library of how-to photos that illustrates this book. Scott is the Director of Preservation Consulting Services for Sutherland Conservation and Consulting. He has researched and written numerous National Register nominations of historic building documentation projects. He is also the co-author of Homes Down East: Classic Maine Coastal Cottages and Town Houses. David J. Clough has had a lifelong fascination with images that tell a story. His architectural photography places exteriors and interiors within a context of spaces that the built environment does not encompass. He lived for ten years in Japan, where his work has been published in the Japan National Trust's Official Guidebook for the Yasuda House. A touring exhibit of his work in 2016 was exhibited in Venice, Yokohama, Milan, Suzhou (China), and Stockholm. His photography has appeared in Built Heritage Journal, Coastal Home, Down East, Maine Home + Design, and Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors magazines, and is also featured in Homes Down East.
