<br />Standards for Rehabilitation
<br />
<br />1. A property shall be used for its
<br />historic purpose or be placed in a new
<br />use that requires minimal change to
<br />the defining characteristics of the
<br />building and its site and environment.
<br />
<br />2. The historic character of a property
<br />shall be retained and preserved. The
<br />removal of historic materials or alteration
<br />of features and spaces that characterize
<br />a property shall be avoided.
<br />
<br />3. Each property shall be recognized as
<br />a physical record of its time, place, and
<br />use. Changes that create a false sense
<br />of historical development, such as
<br />adding conjectural features or architec-
<br />tural elements from other buildings,
<br />shall not be undertaken.
<br />
<br />4. Most properties change over time;
<br />those changes that have acquired
<br />historic significance in their own right
<br />shall be retained and preserved.
<br />
<br />5. Distinctive features, {uiishes, and
<br />construction techniques or examples of
<br />craftsmanship that characterize a
<br />property shall be preserved.
<br />
<br />6. Deteriorated historic features shall
<br />. be repaired rather than replaced. Where
<br />the severity of deterioration requires
<br />replacement of a distinctive feature,
<br />the new feature shall match the old in
<br />design, color, texture, and other visual
<br />qualities and, where possible, materi-
<br />als. Replacement of missing features
<br />shall be substantiated by documentary,
<br />physical, or pictorial evidence.
<br />
<br />7. Chemical or physical treatments,
<br />, such as sandblasting, that cause damage
<br />to historic materials shall not be 'used.
<br />~cleaning-ofstiuctures,if
<br />appropriate, shall be undertaken using
<br />the gentlest means possible.
<br />
<br />8. Significant archeological resources
<br />affeCted by a project shall be protected
<br />and preserved. If such resources must
<br />be disturbed, mitigation measures
<br />shall be undertaken.
<br />
<br />9. New additions, exterior alterations.
<br />or related new construction shall not
<br />destroy hisJ;Oric materials that charac-
<br />terize the pCQperty. The new work
<br />shall be differentiated from the old
<br />and shall be compatible with the
<br />. massing, size. scale, and architectural
<br />features to protect the historic integ-
<br />rity of the property and its environment.
<br />
<br />10. New additions and adjacent or
<br />related new construction shall be under-
<br />taken in such a manner that if removed
<br />in the future. the essential form and
<br />integrity of the liliIceric propt}lty and its
<br />environment would be unimpaired.
