Particular effort should be made <br />to retain materials such as slate, tile and other unique materials not commonly found in new con- <br />struction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new mate- <br />rial that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color and texture. <br />Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the <br />structure; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and <br />suitable to the architectural period. <br />Prohibited ROOF TYPES -- <br />Nothing shall be done <br />to change the essential <br />character of the roof as <br />viewed from a street <br />by adding architectur- <br />al features or large <br />unsightly _ fixtures, or <br />by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architec- <br />tural features important to its character. <br />Not Recommended <br />Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding sid- <br />ing to a building. <br />C.
