Description
he Natchitoches historical districts, which includes more than fifty centuries-old buildings, represents two phases of the city’s history. Due to the age of the Natchitoches historical district buildings, lead paint, which was commonly used before the 1970s, can present many safety hazards and risks during restoration efforts. In order to remove the hazardous lead paint while still maintaining the integrity of the buildings, there are certain safety protocols that must be followed. Protecting these structures assists the historical district residents in a lead-safe refurbishment process and educates the historical community on lead paint hazards in order to protect human health.
