Ferguson hosting Home Renovation Workshop on Saturday

One of North County's many historic homes: the Bockrath-Weise house in St. Ferdinand Park, as depicted by local artist Daniel Fishback*

Owning an older home can be a great adventure and a rich learning experience. But as I’ve discovered with my own 108-year-old dwelling, it can also be quite a challenge, both to your time and to your bank account. That’s why I’m pleased to let all the historic house owners out there know: Help is on the way!

This Saturday, the Ferguson Landmarks Commission is hosting Renovate Ferguson: Spring Home Design Workshop, where experts will be on hand to answer all kinds of questions: What’s the architectural style of my home? What are the dos and don’ts to retain my home’s value? How do I conserve energy in my older home? Where can I find renovation resources?

You can ask all this and more at this free workshop, and be sure to bring a photo of your house for one-on-one advice! Anyone with a vested interest in preserving North County’s historic real estate is invited to attend – Saturday, March 6, from 9:30am-noon at Ferguson Middle School, 701 January Ave, 63135. For more info, call Ferguson City Hall at (314) 521-7721.

(*Artist Daniel Fishback, whose painting is featured above, can create a one-of-a-kind painting of your home too. Read more about his work here.)
