Guidebook Chapin Park Local Historic District Recommended The original shape and materials of the roof should be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new con- struction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new mate- rial that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. Prohibited ROOF TYPES Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectur- al features or large NIP co,�to� unsightly fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house.
