The electrochemical rehabilitation techniques discussed here provide additional tools for the conservationofthese structures. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to investigate these techniques and to share them with the preservation community through this publication. Iwouldliketoacknowledgetheassistanceandsupportofseveralindividuals. I am grateful to my advisor. Sam Harris, for his patience and his technical advise. Frank Matero suggested usingthe FreemanHouseasacase study. JeffChusid, formerDirector ofthe Freeman House, provided the opportunity for me to conduct preliminary research whilestayingatthehouseinJanuary 1997. Additional technical assistance was provided by Gomaa I. Omar (thin-section petrography), Rollin E. Lakis and Xueqin Wang (electron microscopy), and Samuel K. Nash (metallography). The expertise of these individuals in their respective fields has providedanunparalleledresource. I amgratefialto myparents, Shirley Gillette Kreilick and WilliamH. Kreilick, for instilling inmeadesire forknowledgeand forprovidingtheopportunityformeto succeedinlife. I am grateful to my grandmother, Margaret Kellogg Gillette Saflford, whose wisdom will alwaysbeasourceofinspirationforme. The completion ofthis work would not have been possible without the cooperation and patience ofmychildren, AlyssaR. KreiUck and Raymond S. Kreilick. Theyare my hopes anddreamsforthefuture. My partner in life, Cynthia Rafetto Kreilick, has endured this transitional period in our lives together. Without her support and encouragement, this would not have been possible. Luckyme.
