Standards for Preservation <br /> 1. A property will be used as it was historically, or be given a new use that maximizes the retention of dis- <br /> tinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Where a treatment and use have not been <br /> identified, a property will be protected and, if necessary,stabilized until additional work may be under- <br /> taken. <br /> 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or, <br /> repairable historic materials or alteration of features,spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a <br /> property will be avoided. <br /> 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabi- <br /> lize, consolidate, and conserve existing historic materials and features will be physically and visually corn <br /> patible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. <br /> 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and <br /> preserved. <br /> 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that <br /> characterize a property will be preserved. <br /> 6. The existing condition of historic features will be evaluated to determine the appropriate level of inter- <br /> vention needed. Where the severity of deterioration requires repair or limited replacement of a distinctive <br /> feature, the new material will match the old in composition, design, color, and texture. <br /> 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate,will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. <br /> Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. <br /> 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, <br /> mitigation measures will be undertaken. <br /> I <br /> i <br />
