CAPA Resource Directory

 The Cathedral Area Preservation Association (CAPA) is pleased to present the 2004 edition of the CAPA Resource Directory.  The directory, which is updated yearly, is made available to the membership each May as part of CAPA's National Preservation Week Celebration.  CAPA also presents an annual Local Preservation Award as part of National Preservation Week.  For more information about this award, please click here.

This directory is a valuable reference for homeowners in the Cathedral Area who wish to find honest, experienced craftsman, tradesmen, contractors, and businesses which specialize in handling projects those owners of old houses deal with most often.

The individuals and businesses listed in this directory have worked in the Cathedral Area and have been recommended by CAPA members.  CAPA does not endorse the tradesman and the businesses included in the directory.  To submit names and information of tradesman for future editions of this directory, please click on the link to email.

If you know of a correction or modification to any of the businesses and individuals in the Directory, please email changes or additions by clicking on the link below.  Thank you!
