Replicating Historic Porches
July 20-27, 2017 |
Replicating Historic Porches is a fun and intense, eight-day, hands-on learning
experience.
The porch being replicated will be done in accordance with The Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation. You will be part of a team of students
recreating the small & missing original Greek Revival porch, that was removed sometime after 1913 from the circa-1840’s slave house attached to the
back of the Lamb-Munger Mansion in the Central Park National Historic District in Hannibal, Missouri.
This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 4 students. You will be working side-by-side all eight days with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob is nationally recognized as one of the top experts in artisan preservation trades and has been involved in the restoration & replication of over 100 historic porches.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn: laying out the porch; creating new pier footings; framing the deck and installing tongue & grooved porch flooring; framing, sheathing and felting the hip roof/balcony; building stairs; building columns; trimming columns; deck balustrade construction & installation; balcony balustrade construction & installation; eave & soffit trimming; stair case trimming. Building codes and zoning issues will be addressed as well. At the end of the eight days you will know from beginning to end, how to build a replicated
historic porch.
At the completion of the class each student will receive a "Certificate of Completion".
Homeowners, small contractors, preservation staff, preservation commission members, hp students and historic building owners will all benefit from this hands-on, traditional training event. All skill levels are encouraged to enroll. This is a hands-on workshop so you will be getting dirty. Bring work gloves, tool belt and eye protection.
Tuition for this eight-day workshop is $895 and includes beverages and lunch. Space is limited to four students in each session and pre-registration is encouraged to retain a spot in the class.
Inexpensive motels, as well as a discounted rate here at the Belvedere Inn are available for out of town students. For more information or to pre-register call Bob Yapp, 217-474-6052 or yapperman@msn.com.
