Yes, your mid-century house is historic! With Scott Sidler of The Craftsman Blog

from Mid Mod Remodel · host Della Hansmann | Mid-Century Design Expert and owner of Mid Mod Midwest

Do you think of your mid-century home as historic? Maybe you don't. After all, MCM stands for mid-century MODERN. But these houses are all 50 to 75 years old at this point. That's getting up there! Because of that, I am bringing you a conversation with my favorite expert on caring for historic homes, Scott Sidler, the historic window whisperer. In his opinion, mid-century homes and our original windows may or may not be obviously historic.And we are really on the same page about the intended permanence of mid-century houses and everything built before. They were meant to be repaired and maintained for long periods of time. As far as Scott and I are concerned, this is where historic and mid-century are perfectly aligned. I wasn't halfway through this conversation before I started to wonder to myself, did we just become best friends?In Today's Episode You'll Hear:How Scott went from Disney performer to historic window wizard. Why your windows might be experimental rather than historic. Where to find the right methods and materials to keep your original windows in service for years to come. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2301Like and subscribe at Apple | Spotify Want us to create your mid-century master plan?
