\n\tHistoric use preferred
\n\tNew use should require minimal changes to the defining characteristics of the building, its site and its environment<\/p>\n
\n\tRetain and preserve historic character
\n\tAvoid removal of character-defining materials
\n\tAvoid altering significant features and spaces<\/p>\n
\n\tRespect as a physical record of its time, place, and use
\n\tAvoid creating a false sense of history<\/p>\n
\n\tDo not destroy defining characteristics
\n\tDifferentiate new from old
\n\tCompatible: materials, features, size, scale & proportion, massing<\/p>\n
