shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural

have no historical basis and which seek to creafe an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.

structure or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,wherever possible.In the e ent
replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition;
design,color,texture,and other visual qualities.Repair or replacement of missing architectural features

and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archeological resources affected by, or
