Abstract
This paper describes and analyses the restoration and conservation interventions in the roof wooden structures of three historical buildings erected in the 19th Century, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. These interventions took place between 1996 and 2005, in buildings with different typological features: a house, a manor and a palace respectively, Villa- Lobos Museum, Marquesa de Santos Manor and the University Palace of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro - , all listed for their historical and artistic values by Instituto do Patrimonio Historico e Artistico Nacional (IPHAN), the Brazilian Historic and Artistic Heritage. A brief historical report is presented, followed by descriptions of the interventions undertaken in each structure. The aim was to show the various strategies that were applied to preserve different structural systems.
