How damaging to a building can wisteria planted next to it be? What can

done to mitigate effects?

Don't worry about the building so long as you don't mind not seeing it again
;~)))) Wisterias look nicer than buildings anyway. Wonderful plants for a
big wall subject to Charlie's caveats. Careful support and pruning can
mitigate any problems.

They can be pruned to stay within any reasonable size, which I find
amazing. But DO prune them out from the gutters and tiles at least
once a year, or you will have trouble there. And it isn't a good
idea to let them grow behind cast-iron drainpipes, either ....
