Hi Mo,

Franklin's house looks to be a bit drafty !

The contrast that you draw between replication and reconstruction is interesting. I think that we need to add reconstruction to the list.

My understanding of "reconstruction" might be that a building is rebuilt on its original site using whatever original materials, information and accounts are to hand in an attempt to create or show the likely original building whereas a "replica" would be an all new building not necessarily built on the site of the original building. For example I once visited Anne Hathaways cottage on Vancouver Island and a very good replica this is too having visited and compared this with the original which is still standing in Staffordshire, England.

The list now reads :-

Conservation, Preservation, Restoration, Refurbishment, Maintenance, Repair, Fix, Replacement, Delapidate, Demolish, Salvage, Reconstruction, Replicataton, Reuse, Conversion (Adaptive Reuse), Change, Alter.
