for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick <br />or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of moisture problems, <br />or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar <br />shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application and joint <br />profile. <br />When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old <br />stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair <br />methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the <br />repair work and the original work. <br />Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent <br />increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. <br />Recommended <br />Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or <br />repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. When <br />used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every <br />effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves <br />and other architectural features. <br />Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. <br />Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [Address and contact <br />information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source <br />of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors <br />and the like. <br />Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double <br />hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. <br />In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. <br />About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, <br />hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the <br />original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage <br />existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should <br />be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When <br />awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. <br />Prohibited <br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New <br />window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. <br />Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum <br />insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows <br />and doors, shall not be installed. <br />Not Recommended <br />Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be <br />used. <br />
