Pl annin g a Preservation Project
3.3 Maintain character-defining features and decorative
details.
a. Preserve distinctive character-defining features and
other examples of skilled craftsmanship. The best
preservation procedure is to maintain character-
defining features from the outset to prevent the need
for repair later. Appropriate maintenance includes rust
removal, caulking and repainting.
b. Do not remove character-defining features.
3.4 Repair deteriorated character-defining features and
replace only those elements that cannot be repaired.
a. Upgrade existing materials using recognized
preservation methods whenever possible. If
disassembly is necessary for repair or restoration, use
methods that minimize damage to original materials
and facilitate reassembly.
