Window restorer Dixon Kerr
Find Old and Historic Properties

Welcome to Old House Authority where we help preserve old houses and the stories they have to tell. We provide practical products and services--such as window repair, energy efficient storm windows, renovation contractors, and architectural design - to address the physical needs and sustainability of old houses. We also help preserve the historic records of old houses, the people who lived there, and the historic events that took place around them. This information can help prevent the mistakes in renovation that too often diminish the historic character of old houses.
