Allentown Preservation League

Congrats to our neighbors in Bath for their PA Historic Preservation Award!

We happily put up with some cracking for better soundproofing and fireproofing! And repairs are pretty simple with a few simple tips.

Does your house have a powder room? Thank influenza... this has us wondering what changes to our buildings this new virus will bring. What design changes would make your life right now easier?

More great history and preservation learning resources for your kids while we have to stay inside, from our friends at the National Trust for Historic Preservation!

In order to do our part and abide by the PA Governor's request, the APL Warehouse will be closed through April 18th. We may update this closer pending changing circumstances, but in the mean time please keep to yourselves so that we can all stay safe.
