But this publication does offer some wonderful case studies and inspiration for those of us interested in sustainability and older buildings. "Preservation" is available, along with books and other periodicals, in Historic Ithaca's research library, located at the Significant Elements building at 212 Center Street in Ithaca. Use of the library is free to the public, open Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.
