On display through Sunday at the Custom House Maritime Museum is an exhibit called “Vanishing Treasures: Preservation Challenges.” It offers examples of period hardware, windows. shutters and more as it focuses on five architectural styles traced through Newburyport’s history. But part of the organizers’ effort is to urge people to think twice before they throw away historic items. The museum, in collaboration with the Newburyport Preservation Trust, is intent on telling homeowners of older residences not to throw away items like doors, cornices, mantles, and window frames without checking on their historical merit.
