Secretary of the Interior’s Standards: Treatment Considerations
Faculty
John J. Cullinane, AIA, specialist in the development of planning tools for the stewardship of historic and architectural resources; formerly senior architect, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
Seminar Overview
The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties form the basis for historic property rehabilitation for federal tax benefits, and often for state, local, and private rehabilitation projects. Explore the standards in detail with particular attention to character-defining features, preservation of historic fabric, and use of replacement materials. Review application procedures for the federal tax act certification.
Evaluation Comments
"I've been working as staff to a historic district commission, trying to get them to tighten up their standards, based on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. This workshop gives me ample justification. Excellent pace, slides, cases, and good discussion."
"You did a short overview at the beginning-we don't always admit we don't know the basics."
"I especially appreciated the open discussion format of the workshop, which led to a sharing of information among participants."
"I have a better understanding of the standards that are applied to NRHP structures."
"The instructor had a "very good understanding of various standards applied to and interrelationships between different government programs."
Participants
Property owners, developers, cultural resource managers, architects, and design professionals involved in developing or reviewing rehabilitation projects.
