Preserve, maintain, and repair significant stylistic and architectural features.
The Hurlbut-Yates home picture above is an excellent local example of significant architectural details as seen in the barge board, porch pediment, and delicate spindles that should be preserved through preventative maintenance.
Do not add details that are not original to the building. New architectural details should be based on pictorial, physical, or other historic evidence.
Remaining portions of the cornice details on these two buildings can be used to repair or replace damaged portions of the rest of the cornice lines.
Do not cover or conceal architectural details.
The fire escape on this historic commercial building is obscuring the date and the cornice line of the building and should be avoided by relocating the exit on a side or rear facade.
