The Old Exchange Building is a National Historic Landmark and is considered to be one of three most historically significant colonial buildings in America. This 235-year-old structure requires constant care - a task amplified by a harsh coastal environment, vibration from heavy traffic and past repair attempts. Good preservation is a meticulous, hands-on intensive exercise which closely follows the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Through extensive research and careful materials analysis, the exterior was preserved employing certain common sense construction materials and methods originally used on the building over two centuries ago.
