Building Assessment 101, hosted by Alpena County Library Special Collections Librarian Don LaBarre, will be a virtual presentation from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Join the library and the Michigan Historic Preservation Network for this free, Zoom workshop intended for people who are considering purchasing an older home or small commercial property and want to know how to identify and evaluate the main trouble spots. Participants will learn how to complete a basic building assessment and how to determine whether signs of disrepair indicate a simple cosmetic problem or serious structural failure.
