Hello friends.
I have a question for you which I am asking on behalf of another historical
organization which owns historic buildings. For those of you who own a
standalone, small building (like a one-room school or church), do you heat
it in the winter? The historical society who owns a one-room school in our
area doesn't want to heat it in the winter because it isn't used and there
is a significant heating bill involved. However, I know that even minimally
heating an old building helps to preserve it. So, I would appreciate
hearing from those of you who own a historic building and close it up for
the winter-do you heat it or not?
Thank you,
Jarrod
