INTRODUCTION
A project is being planned for the property at 7101 N.E. loth Avenue and 1000 N.E. 72"d Street,
Miami, which is located in the locally -designated Bayside Historic District (the District).
Therefore, the proposed project will require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Miami
Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB).
Heritage Architectural Associates (HAA) has been commissioned by Minor Street LP 1, the owner
of the property (the Owner), to provide an Historic Character and Design Analysis for the project
as it relates to the governing ordinances and guidelines, including the Miami Historic Preservation
Ordinance and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for the Treatment of
Historic Properties.
The Owner provided some documentation regarding the history of the site and previous projects
to HAA at the outset of the project. To prepare the report, HAA conducted further on-line
research. Additionally, on -site photography was conducted to document the neighborhood as it
currently exists. This information has been compiled in the report, which includes a description
of the historic context of the neighborhood and property, a current description of the property,
historic character analysis of the Prescott Mansion and the neighborhood, history of past
proposed projects, project overview, and analysis of proposed project in terms of the Miami
Historic Preservation Ordinance and the Secretary of Interior's Standards. The text is
supplemented by numerous historic and contemporary images.
This report only addresses items that relate to the Historic Preservation Ordinance and the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards. Other items are outside the scope of this document.
This work was overseen by Steven G. Avdakov, R.A., principal of HAA. The report was written
and compiled by Deborah Griffin of HAA. Unless otherwise specified, all photographs were taken
by Steven Avdakov.

HISTORIC DISTRICT
The Bayside Historic District was designated as a Local Historic District in 1991. (Figure 1)
Therefore, all proposed rehabilitation projects and new construction in the District are subject to
review in accordance with the City of Miami Historic Preservation Ordinance.
The District is bounded by the rear lot lines between N.E. 72nd Street and N.E. 72nd Terrace on
the north; Biscayne Bay and N.E. 7th Court on the east; N.E. 69th Street east of N.E. 7th Court
(extended) and the rear lot lines between N.E. 67th Street and N.E. 68th Street west of N.E. 7th
Court on the south; and the rear lot lines of properties fronting on Biscayne Boulevard on the
west.

The following is noted regarding the Bayside Historic District:
The Bayside Historic District is significant in the historical, cultural, and
architectural heritage of the City of Miami. This neighborhood reflects the City's
development from the formative years of the early 1900s through the mid 1940s.
Once a part of the pioneer settlement of Lemon City, Bayside contains the oldest
intact community in Northeast Miami, as well as one of this area's last remaining
bayfront estates. The visual composition of the district's buildings represents a
diversity of architectural styles, including Frame Vernacular, Mediterranean
Revival, Art Deco, and Streamline Moderne. From its onset, Bayside was the home
of many prominent residents who played significant roles in the business life of
both Lemon City and Miami. (Bayside Historic District Designation Report)

The Bayside Historic District is a residential neighborhood located on Biscayne Bay in Northeast NI u
fl, a
Miami. The primary streets run in an east -west direction and are bisected by avenues that run W v u
north -south. The streets are generally narrow, with the exception of N.E. 69th and 715t Streets, o
which feature grassy, tree -lined medians. Most of the streets have no curbs, and there are few L N
0
pedestrian sidewalks. The streets are lined with palm and deciduous trees. The buildings have a v
moderate setback from the street. v
L
The District is comprised of four subdivisions that were platted between 1909 and 1925. The "' o
southern part of the District, which was platted earlier, contains a larger concentration of 1920s
and 1930s houses than the northern portion of the District. The buildings were generally
constructed before 1970, with a few exceptions.
In 2004, the HEPB approved parking guidelines for the Bayside Historic District.

HISTORIC CONTEXT
The area encompassed by the Bayside Historic District includes four subdivisions that were
platted between 1909 and 1925. The subdivisions include Elmira, platted in 1909, Acadia, platted
in 1915, Baywood, platted in 1921 with an addition in 1925, and Washington Place, which was
platted in 1925. (Figure 10)
Q,o 0
W
Figure 10. Maps showing area included in the Bayside Historic District 1925.
(Plat Book of Greater Miami, Fla. and Suburbs, 1925)
The Elmira subdivision, on N.E. 681h Street, was platted in 1909 by William B. Miller and Fred C.
Miller, who came from Elmira, New York in the late 1880s. Most of the lots were sold to Elmira
families, many of which purchased two lots to allow room for a residence and a small orchard.
Most of the early homes were constructed in northern styles, reminiscent of the origins of their
original owners. At the time of the District designation, most of the homes were constructed in
the 1910s.
In 1915, Realty Securities Corporation and George E. Merrick platted the Acadia subdivision on
N.E. 715t Street. Although only two houses were constructed prior to 1925, development
escalated during the boom years of the mid-1920s. Most of the houses were constructed in
Mediterranean Revival style.
The Baywood subdivision was platted by the Krames-Corlett Company in 1921. The subdivision
includes the south side of N.E. 715L Street. The First Addition to the Baywood subdivision was
platted in 1924 by Annie H. Post and includes N.E. 69th Street. Most of the construction in these
areas occurred between the late 1920s and the mid-1940s and was in the Mediterranean Revival
style.
In 1923, Samuel J. Prescott purchased a tract of land with ocean frontage north of the Baywood
development. The next year, he constructed a winter home at 7101 N.E loth Avenue. August
Geiger was the architect for the six -bedroom, four -bath Mediterranean Revival home. Prescott
5
was the founder and president of Samuel J. Prescott Co., Inc., contractors and builders, based in
Washington D.C.
Prescott platted Washington Place, located along N.E. 72md Street and the north side of N.E. 71"1
Street, in 1925. (Figure 11) Most of the homes in this subdivision were constructed in the 1930s
through 1950s in the Mediterranean Revival and Modern styles. (Figure 12, Figure 13)

The architecture of the District reflects the evolution of styles over the course of time. Earlier
buildings are Frame Vernacular and Bungalows. During the 1920s and 1930s, Mediterranean
Revival evolved as the dominant style in the District. Other pre-war styles represented included
Mission, Art Deco and Streamline Modern.
The most recent style that is reflected in the District is the Mid -Century Modern style, which
dominated the post -World War II era. Hallmarks of the Modern style include simplicity of form,
exposed structural elements, honest expression of construction materials and use of modern
technology. The Miami Modern style (MiMo) was an important regional response to Modernism.
It was characterized by bright colors, unusual forms, and a response to the regional climate,
including heat and light.
Just west of the Bayside Historic District lies the MiMo/Biscayne Boulevard Historic District
(designated 2006), which extends along both sides of Biscayne Boulevard from N.E. 7711 Street to
south of N.E. 50th Terrace. The MiMo District features a mixture of commercial, residential and
mixed -use buildings, but it is best known for the large number of MiMo motels located on
Biscayne Boulevard throughout the District.

The Bayside Historic District features a large number of MiMo residential properties with Modern
features such as low-pitched roofs, overhanging; eaves, horizontal banding; and juxtaposition of
materials. The vocabulary of the Modern style differs completely from Mediterranean Revival
and other earlier styles. Since it is the most recent layer represented in the Bayside Historic
District, the MiMo style is the logical foundation for the interpretation of the contemporary
architecture proposed for the site.

OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS PROPOSALS
The Prescott Mansion was located on the southern parcel of the subject property at 7101 N.E.
10th Avenue. The building stood unoccupied for many years and was the target of several
unsuccessful attempts to demolish it in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, it was in extremely
deteriorated condition. (Figure 33)
In 2003, construction of ten townhouses on the site was proposed, but this plan was not
implemented. The proposed townhouses were a mixture of Mediterranean Revival and Modern
styles.
In 2005, a new owner of the property received approval from the HEPB for the demolition of the
Prescott Mansion, the reconstruction of the house south of its original location, the construction
of a new building connected to the residence by an underground garage, and various site
improvements. (Figure 34, Figure 35) The plan was to use some of the building materials salvaged

from the original structure. Prior to demolition, architect Richard Heisenbottle thoroughly
documented the building. Although the Prescott Mansion was demolished, the new construction
was not undertaken. Also in 2005, the HEPB denied a request to subdivide the property into six
lots.

in 2015. Both the Prescott and the new residence were elevated 4'-10" to comply with flood
regulations. This project also did not come to fruition. (Figure 37)

BASE FLOOD ELEVATION
Base Flood Elevation is defined as the "elevation of surface water resulting from a flood that has
a 1% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year." (FEMA)
Sea level rise and the associated negative effect on communities is a major area of concern in
South Florida. The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection Southeast Florida, published in 2019,
projects that by 2040, the sea level will rise by 10 to 17 inches from mean levels of 2000.
(Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact's Ad Hoc Work Group 2019, 9) Resilience
has become a new regulatory criteria, and building requirements have been revised accordingly.
The base flood elevation for a particular property is now a valid design parameter that has to be
addressed for any new construction along the waterfront.
The subject property is a waterfront site that is categorized under two FEMA Flood Zones. Part
of the property is located in a VE (High Risk Coastal) Flood Zone and has a base flood elevation of
10 feet. The remainder of the property is located in an AE (High Risk) Flood Zone and has a base
flood elevation of 9 feet. (City of Miami GIS)
When the Prescott Mansion was constructed in the 1920s, sea level rise was not a concern. The
original design for a reconstructed Prescott Mansion, produced in 2005, incorporated base flood
levels and placed the first floor level at 12'. With a current base flood level of 10 feet and a
freeboard level of 15 feet, the proposed design for the Prescott Mansion places the first floor
level at 16'-2", and increase of over four feet from the earlier design.
All other new construction in the VE and AE Flood Zones is.subject to similar regulations. The
proposed new residences also must be raised above the base flood elevation. As a result, all of
the buildings in the proposed project, including the Prescott Mansion, will be taller than
neighboring buildings with the same number of stories.
17
OVERVIEW OF CURRENT PROJECT
At this time, the site of the former Prescott Mansion has been vacant for approximately 15 years.
The house was unoccupied for many years before it was demolished.
First Submittal (June 2021)
The original application specified that the two-story Prescott Mansion was to be reconstructed
in its original Mediterranean Revival style with a new rear addition. The Staff Report stated that,
in 1991, when the District was designated, "the Prescott Mansion was the district's most
significant estate." The report continued, "The intent and condition of the Prescott Mansion's
reconstruction is to replicate the building's ornamentation as close as possible to the original,
retaining its original size, shape, and scale. All exterior features, including and not limited to
windows, doors, chimney, roof, etc. are to match the original ... The mansion shall be elevated to
meet flood requirements, new spaces below shall be used as storage. The design also includes a
new West entrance stair with an elevated porch, and new stairs on the North and South
elevation."
The application specified that the two lots would be divided into six parcels. (Figure 38).
Additionally, the application specified the construction of five new homes on the lots, along with
site improvements. (Figure 38)

(Prescott Mansion Presentation to Miami HEPB June 2021 Meeting)
The Staff Report concluded that the application was only partially in accordance with the Miami
Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 23 of the City of Miami Code of Ordinances, the Secretary of
Interior Standards, and the Preservation Office Historic Design Guidelines, and Miami 21 Code.
The report found that the plans for the reconstruction of the Prescott Mansion and addition were
appropriate and follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and the City of Miami Historic
Design Guidelines. The report specified that the two lots at the corner of N.E. 72"d Street and
N.E. loth Avenue should be consolidated into one lot with one residence. It also stated that no
vehicular or pedestrian gates should be placed across the common driveway.

streets to allow it to blend into the landscaping. It was oriented with the narrow side facing the
corner, thus reducing the perception of mass. Placement of the house provided a large amount
of open space around the property. (Figure 40) The updated design provided for increased open
space, decreased driveway widths, increased setback and a decrease in second level lot coverage
on three parcels.
Additionally, the designs for all of the residences were modified to incorporate architectural
elements and materials from the Bayside Historic District. Architectural elements include angled
roofs and eyebrows. Materials drawn from the surrounding construction include exposed brick,
stone, concrete breeze block and naturally -finished wood.
The plans for the Prescott Mansion remained unchanged from the previous design.
The Addendum to the First Submittal was not approved by the HEPB.

Current Design
The current design builds on the previous modifications. The intent is to strengthen the
relationship between the new buildings, the reconstructed Prescott Mansion, and the
waterfront, Since all of the buildings, including the Prescott, must be elevated to current base
flood elevations, they will be taller than the other buildings in the neighborhood.
The original Prescott Mansion was located at the waterfront, making it unique within the District.
The scale and massing of the Prescott were historically different from the non -waterfront
buildings in the District. Three of the four new structures are also located on the waterfront and
are analogous to the Prescott in siting, massing and scale. The fourth new building, at the corner
of N.E. 72"d Street and N.E. loth Avenue, serves as a transition building between the waterfront
properties and the adjacent neighborhood. (Figure 42)

Bayside Historic District
As the most recent layer in the Bayside Historic District, the Miami Modern style serves as a
logical basis for reference and interpretation of the new architecture in order to relate it to the
existing District. The buildings in the District that were within approximately 1000' of the site
were examined for characteristic MiMo features and materials. Defining features of the
neighborhood include the average lot size, absence of fencing at front yards and consistent
frontages. The context of the examined buildings differs from the Prescott, as they are away
from the waterfront.

BASIS FOR ANALYSIS
Since the property lies within the Bayside Historic District, any modifications must be compatible
with the massing, scale, size and features of the existing District. The context includes both the
Prescott Mansion and the surrounding neighborhood.
The original Prescott Mansion was a waterfront property and was the most significant building
in the District when it was designated in 1991. A COA was granted for the demolition of the
Prescott on the condition that it be reconstructed at a later date. The initial Staff Report for the
current project, dated 6/1/2021, states that "the intent and condition of the Prescott Mansion's
reconstruction is to replicate the building's ornamentation as close as possible to the original,
retaining its original size, shape, and scale. All exterior features, including and not limited to
windows, doors, chimney, roof, etc. are to match the original." Other than the raised height due
to flood requirements, the design for the reconstructed Prescott matches the original building.
Since the Prescott was a prominent building located on the waterfront, it provides the direct and
immediate context for the design of the other waterfront properties.
The immediate neighborhood around the Prescott site, within the Bayside Historic District,
provides an additional context for design of the new construction adjacent the reconstructed
Prescott. The District was designated in 1991, and therefore, the 50-year threshold to be
considered "historic" ended in 1941. In the 30 years since the designation, Mid -Century Modern
architecture, including the regional variation Miami Modern (MiMo), has passed the 50-year
threshold and is recognized as a significant architectural style in Miami and nationwide. MiMo
architecture is found in residential, commercial, religious, educational and government buildings
throughout the City. A district being considered for designation in the current day could have a
period of significance end date of 1972, which would include nearly all of the mid-century
construction within the Bayside Historic District. Although Modern styles were not mentioned in
the designation report of 30 years ago, they certainly are now considered historically significant.
The Staff Report states: "In considering new construction projects within a historic district it is
important to make sure that the historic structures remain the central focus of the district;
therefore, avoiding the use of incompatible style(s) not commonly found within the neighboring
structures." The District contains a large number of Modern residences. Within the viewshed of
approximately 1000' from the site of the proposed construction, approximately 40% of the
residences have Modern styling.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standard Number 9 states:
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic
integrity of the property and its environment.
III
The layering of two different historic styles is commonplace and complies with Standard Number
9. MiMo is the most recent style historically significant architectural style represented in the
District. Consequently, MiMo is a logical basis for reference and interpretation for the
architectural language of new design within the District. A design that incorporates MiMo styling
in a manner that is compatible with the existing residences in the District would comply with
Standard Number 9.

ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED WORK
Prescott Mansion
t
Ir
Figure 76. Rendering of proposed Prescott Mansion, 2021.
(Prescott Mansion Second HEPB Submittai)
The Prescott Mansion is the most significant building in the project, based on its size, scale and
location. The relationship of the Prescott Mansion, and its site, to the waterfront is of primary
significance. The original building will be replicated in size, shape, scale, style and features. Due
to flood requirements, the reconstructed Mansion will be set on a raised base.
The plans for the proposed reconstruction of the Mediterranean Revival Prescott Mansion, based
on the original details, have been deemed appropriate by the Miami HEP staff. The required
plinth to raise the structure above base flood levels uses Mediterranean Revival language, which
is compatible with the original design.
34
Addition to Prescott Mansion
The proposed work includes a rear addition at the east elevation of the reconstructed Prescott
that includes a covered parking area, water equipment vault, grill area, multiple open decks,
living room and master suite. The addition has the most direction association with the Prescott,
which serves as the basis for the analysis of the addition.
The Staff Report states, "it is important to make sure that the historic structures remain the
central focus of the district." The addition meets this criteria, as it is placed behind the Prescott
and thus will be less visible from the street. The current plan is more appropriate than the
previously approved version, which had an addition to the north. The placement of the addition
to the rear directs central focus on the Prescott Mansion. The Staff Report continues, 'The
juxtaposition of the Prescott Mansion reconstruction in the front of the parcel and the new
addition in the rear distinguishes two different architectural styles. The design does not support
a linear alignment with architectural features and does not resemble in form to the Prescott
Mansion. However, the change in architectural style and placement directs the central focus
primarily on the Prescott Mansion. New additions are to be distinct yet must still stay in character
with the historic district."
The scale of the addition is compatible with the scale of the waterfront Prescott Mansion,
including the elevation of the building to fulfill base flood requirements. To enhance
compatibility, the addition references elements of the Prescott and of the Miami Modern
features in the neighborhood. This layering is in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standard Number 9.
Other design features that reference the Prescott and Miami Modern (MiMo) include:

Other New Construction
The scale of the four new two-story residences is compatible with the scale of the waterfront
Prescott Mansion. Like the Prescott, all of the residences are raised to comply with flood
requirements. The residences are elevated on pilotis to provide an openness that reflects an
interpretation of the Modern "city in a park" concept.
The new residences are set back from Prescott to provide emphasis of the primary structure. The
northwest non -waterfront lot (Lot 2) relates to the neighborhood and serves as a transition from
the smaller existing residences to the waterfront scale of the Prescott.

Design Elements
The proposed design has been analyzed in regard to each of the following elements:
Form
The reconstruction of the Prescott Mansion is appropriate in scale. As new construction, the
height must be increased from the original construction due to flood regulations.
The new rear addition is consistent in scale with the reconstructed Prescott Mansion. The
addition defers to the Prescott with its siting at the rear of the property, as opposed to the side
of the Mansion, as per the previously approved design. (Figure 37) The massing of the addition
is smaller in scale and defers to the Prescott, unlike the previously approved design. (Figure 37)
The building forms and materials interpret and reference the modern language of MiMo, the
most recent significant contributing design style in the Bayside Historic District. The new
construction adds an additional layer to the District. Per Secretary of the Interior's Standard 9,
new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size,
scale and architectural features of the existing resources.
5 acin
"The Bayside Historic District's (BHD) streetscape is irregular and differs widely from street to
street. In general, streets are narrow; there are few sidewalks, gutters or curbs." (Bayside
Historic District Parking Design Guidelines)
Waterfront lots are often irregular in size and shape due to the topography of the location. An
example is found on 69th Street within the District. (Figure 86) The irregular lot sizes in the
proposed project are a response to the oceanfront siting. (Figure 40)
Many of the streets in the District are narrow and some are curved in response to the topography.
The curved drive within the proposed project is consistent with curved streets found elsewhere
in the District. (Figure 87)
Figure 86. Map showing irregular lots in southern portion of District, 2021.
(Prescott Mansion City Commission Appeal Submittal)
44
The lots in the Bayside Historic District were platted at a much smaller size than the two lots
associated with the Prescott Mansion (Figure 12, Figure 13). Subdivision of the two subject
parcels will bring the lot sizes closer in alignment to the rest of the District.
Height
The properties are located on the waterfront (except for adjacent Lot 2) and are not typical of
the rest of the District. The scale of the new design is compatible with the scale of the Prescott
Mansion and is appropriate for the waterfront location.
The height of the Prescott Mansion will be higher than the original due to flood regulations. Base
flood elevations have evolved over time, and all new construction must comply with the
regulations. Above the base flood elevation, the height and massing of the proposed new
construction is consistent with the earlier residences in the neighborhood. The new construction
will feature pilotis, which elevate the buildings and provide light and openness below. The use
of pilotis is a complimentary approach for modern structures, compared to the solid mass of the
elevated Prescott.
The new addition has smaller massing that the Prescott. Key features of the addition, such as the
base and roof eaves, are horizontally aligned with the Prescott to enhance compatibility.
Yards
The yards in the proposed design will continue a pattern of a developed green area for each single
family residence. Landscaping will be utilized extensively to provide green areas and natural
surfaces. The setbacks for the new construction are consistent with the neighborhood. (Figure
88)
45
M
Figure 88. Comparison of setbacks of proposed project with neighboring properties.
(Prescott Mansion City Commission Appeal Submittal)
Materials
The materials proposed for the reconstruction of the Prescott Mansion are based upon careful
documentation that was completed prior to demolition of the original building. The materials to
be used in the reconstruction are appropriate. The new base utilizes architectural detailing and
materials that are consistent for an interpretation of Mediterranean Revival architecture.
The materials for the proposed new construction reference both the immediate context of the
Prescott Mansion and the context of the surrounding neighborhood. Materials that reference
the Prescott Mansion include keystone, smooth stucco walls, naturally -finished wood and clay
tile roofs. Materials that reference MiMo styling include concrete, stucco, keystone and breeze
block. (Figure 77-Figure 78, Figure 82-Figure 85)
Color
The proposed colors are consistent with the colors found in the Historic District, including white
stucco walls and red roof tiles.
Rhythm and Pattern of Window and Door Openings
The new construction uses a modern language that references and interprets MiMo. Typical
MiMo features include horizontal banded windows, clerestory windows, ribbon windows,
recessed entrances and carports. In the MiMo style, windows were intended to provide much
natural light at all different levels of the building. The proposed designs are consistent with this
approach. (Figure 77-Figure 78, Figure 82-Figure 85)
46
Summary
The proposed design employs a modern architectural language that utilizes MiMo styling as a
basis for reference and interpretation. The MiMo style is prevalent in the Bayside Historic District
and is an appropriate reference for the new construction.
The site is a waterfront location that is on the edge of the District and therefore has a different
context than the inland, non -waterfront sites. The scale of the proposed new construction is
compatible with the scale of the reconstructed Prescott Mansion and is appropriate for the
waterfront location. The Prescott will remain the largest building in the District, and the new
construction will reference features and materials of both the Prescott and the surrounding
neighborhood. The new construction will add another layer, which will be differentiated from
the old and will be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features of the
surrounding neighborhood, per Secretary of the Interior's Standard 9.
Comparison to Previously Approved Design
The previously approved design (2015) was significantly out of scale with the reconstructed
Prescott Mansion in massing and lot width. (Figure 37) The current design of the proposed
addition is compatible with the Prescott Mansion in scale, massing and height. The proposed
addition relates to the Prescott in terms of horizontal alignment of key features, including the
base.
In addition, the approved design was sited to the north of the Mansion with a similar setback,
which would have drawn attention away from the reconstructed Prescott Mansion. The
proposed design defers to the Prescott by its siting at the rear of the reconstructed Mansion.
The proposed design is much more compatible with the design of the Prescott Mansion than the
design that was approved in 2015.

The design relates to the most immediate and direct connection of the Prescott Mansion in its
waterfront location. It also relates to the neighborhood by providing an interpretation of Miami
Modern, the most recent architecturally significant style in the District. The design is compatible
with both contexts and provides a complimentary additional layer to the District. It does not
adversely affect the special character and value of the Bayside Historic District.
• Design of new differentiated from old
• Design of new references and interprets features of the Prescott Mansion
• Design of new references and interprets features of MiMo in the Bayside Historic
District
Therefore, the request for a Special Certificate of Appropriateness should be APPROVED.

svv
1.
A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
0_ .+' N
change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships.
-a ,o 0
2.
The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of
a, ,
E o N
distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that
v
characterize a property will be avoided.
N o
3.
Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features
or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4.
Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be
retained and preserved.
5.
Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6.
Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity
of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will
match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7.
Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest
means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8.
Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must
be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new
work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic
materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of
the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a
manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment would be unimpaired.
