The Secretary
of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties, 1995
ROOTED IN OVER 120 YEARS OF PRESERVATION
ETHICS in both Europe and America, The Secretary of
the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties
are common sense principles in non-technical language. They
were developed to help protect our nation's irreplaceable cultural
resources by promoting consistent preservation practices. The
Standards may be applied to all properties listed in the National
Register of Historic Places: buildings, sites, structures,
objects, and districts. It should be understood that the Standards
are a series of concepts about maintaining, repairing and replacing
historic materials, as well as designing new additions or making
alterations; as such, they cannot, in and of themselves, be
used to make essential decisions about which features of a
historic property should be saved and which might be changed.
But once an appropriate treatment is selected, the Standards
provide philosophical consistency to the work.
Four Treatment Approaches
There are Standards for four distinct, but interrelated, approaches to the
treatment of historic properties--preservation, rehabilitation, restoration,
and reconstruction.
Introduction
Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic
materials and retention of a property's form as it has evolved over time. (Protection
and Stabilization have now been consolidated under this treatment.)
Standards
for Preservation
Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to
a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the
property's historic character.
Standards
for Rehabilitation
Restoration depicts a property at a particular
period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other
periods.
Standards
for Restoration
Reconstruction re-creates
vanished or non-surviving portions of a property
for interpretive purposes.

for Reconstruction
