A special, one-day event packed full of expert presenters who all want to help you buy and restore historic houses in Albany and beyond! Chat with the tablers to get advice on your homeowning/restoration journey and see in-person demonstrations on everything from glazing to painting and plastering! We will also have a 45-minute panel with homeowners and contractors who have completed/are in the process of their own building restorations - so come prepared with any questions!

The event will be held at the back of the City's building at 200 Henry Johnson Boulevard - there will be on-street parking. Please RSVP virtually.
