Abstract

Abstract : The Department of Defense is the largest steward of historic buildings in the United States. Because important architectural attributes may be lost forever due to postponed or incomplete maintenance, preserving the nation's rich military architectural history depends heavily on the application of a thorough and well designed proactive maintenance plan (PMP). The proactive approach to maintaining historic buildings includes preservation planning, preventive maintenance, and documentation of historic buildings. A PMP can be tailored to each historic building to be maintained. This report discusses proactive maintenance, the components of a PMP, and their importance to the preservation of military historic buildings. The report also provides installation cultural resource managers with technical information about the care and maintenance of historic buildings. Historic buildings -- conservation and restoration, Preventive maintenance. Proactive maintenance plan (PMP).
