The Ohio History Connection’s Building Doctors will hold clinics in Columbus, Lebanon, Tiffin, and Lakeside.
According to the OHPO website, “The “doctors” work in teams, teaching old-building owners how to recognize and solve some of the most common sources of problems in maintaining older buildings, and how to make informed decisions about repairs and improvements.
Each Building Doctor clinic begins with a free seminar on topics like peeling paint and failing plaster, wet basements, deteriorating masonry, windows, wood issues and bringing buildings built before 1955 up to date without sacrificing historic integrity.
On the following day, the Building Doctors make the rounds of ailing buildings within five miles of the city center where the seminar is held to examine problems and prescribe cures. Their consultations are free, however they are limited and you must ask for an appointment with the Building Doctor when you register for the clinic in advance, and attend the free seminar to qualify”
The locations and dates for this year’s Building Doctor visits are as follows:
Columbus – March 21-22
Lebanon – April 11-12
Tiffin – May 2-3
Lakeside – June 20-21
