Preserving History: Materials to Consider

I’ve been exploring traditional building materials for a restoration project and would love to hear your thoughts. For instance, using lime plaster instead of modern alternatives not only stays true to the original aesthetics but also allows the building to breathe, which is crucial for its longevity. Has anyone had success with specific techniques or materials that balance authenticity and modern standards?
