Improving on the past look
This display to be featured by the Building Centre during the next ten days entered the planning stage about 15 months ago, following a series of successful home improvement seminars. The eventual title is used by courtesy of the Wellington City Corporation which sponsored a somewhat similar presentation just 12 months ago. Its concept is the preservation of existing hous-
ing and the availability for modernisation and improvement of many hundreds of existing homes, basically sound but in need of varying degrees of renovation. Never previously has there been such a wide range of suitable materials and techniques devoted to the concept of home improvement. The Building Centre is the place to see them and to learn something of their applications.
“Yesterday’s Houses Tc morrow,” as the name implies, indicates the potential for renovation of homes of an earlier period. The displays you will see all apply specifically to home improvement. although there is no doubt that many of the products and techniques may apply equally to new house construction.
The display will be open on Saturday and Sunday, and admission is free.
