3 The Secretary of the Interior s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties The Secretary of the Interior s Standards provide four distinct, but interrelated, approaches to the treatment of historic properties. Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property s form as it has evolved over time. Rehabilitation i acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic i property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property s historic character. Restoration is undertaken to depict a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods. Reconstruction recreates vanished or non-surviving portions of a gp property for interpretive purposes.

4 Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved.

5 Standards for Rehabilitation (continued) 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be sustained by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated t d from the old and shall be compatible with the massing size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10 N dditi d dj t l t d t ti h ll b d t k i 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

6 Significance

7 Preservation Zoning Restoration zone a space or feature is of primary significance and integrity. Contemporary interventions, though possible, are minimized. Rehabilitation zone a space or feature is of somewhat lesser significance and/or integrity. This zoning allows greater flexibility to accommodate new uses while retaining character-defining features and materials. Renovation zone few if any original materials or features survive intact, or the particular space does not contain distinguishing i materials or features. Spaces zoned as renovation can be freely altered to suit contemporary needs.
