Modern lives. Thoughtful change. There's something special about the older homes that give Salem and the North Shore so much of their character. But living in one can bring plenty of questions about how to preserve what makes it distinctive while adapting it for modern life. Join us for For the Love of Old Houses\, a free community event bringing together local professionals in architecture\, construction\, restoration\, real estate\, interior design\, and building materials for an engaging conversation about the challenges and possibilities of owning and renovating older homes. Rather than a traditional lecture\, we'll follow the story of a fictional North Shore house built around 1900. As our hypothetical homeowners consider purchasing and renovating the property\, our panelists will explore the decisions they face along the way\, sharing practical insights and perspectives from their own work. The evening will also feature wine\, refreshments\, and an opportunity to meet local professionals\, connect with fellow old-house enthusiasts\, and explore the Grand Banks showroom. Whether you own an older home\, are considering buying one\, or simply appreciate New England's architectural heritage\, we'd love to have you join us! Thursday\, November 12\, 2026 | 5:30 8:00 PM Grand Banks Building Products | Gloucester\, MA Free admission. Advance registration requested.
