Columbus Landmarks is co-sponsoring a Building Doctor Clinic on May 6&7 at the Weinland Park Neighborhood Pride Center, 248 E. 11th Ave. 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 clinic begins with a free seminar on topics like peeling paint and failing plaster, wet basements, deteriorating masonry, window, wood issues, and many other topics, 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 facility where the seminar was 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 an on-site consultation in advance, and attend the free seminar to qualify.
