Limewash is enjoying renewed interest as a protectant for historic structures, thanks in part to research undertaken by NCPTT and its partners.

This report is an executive summary of testing undertaken by NCPTT in partnership with the Cane River Creole National Historical Park (CARI) and Quality Finish.

The study tested a variety of limewash recipes for possible use on historic structures located in the Cane River Creole National Historical Park, located in central Louisiana.

NCPTT’s Sarah Jackson was featured in the Spring 2007 issue of Traditional Masonry Magazine (Volume 2, Issue 2).

Results are available on the durability of traditional and modified limewashes tested by NCPTT.
