Home > Restoration Help > Vinyl Siding: The Real Issues
Vinyl siding is a major preservation issue. As preservationists go about the state they find more and more historic houses covered with vinyl. This trend has affected the historic character of whole neighborhoods in cities and has spread throughout the countryside. Responding to aggressive marketing by the industry, an increasing number of owners of historic houses are choosing vinyl as a replacement siding, with little understanding of the possible consequences. All over the state local historic district and property commissions are pressured by historic property owners to allow vinyl siding; some commissions have faced lawsuits. The response of the preservation community to this issue is long overdue. It is time to take a stand, to reach out to historic property owners and commissioners and give them the facts they need to make informed decisions.
