Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced.

New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property.
