AL

HISTORICAL WORTH/

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY
HISTORIC PRESERVATION?
- IN SIMPLE TERMS, HISTORIC PRESERVATION
MEANS SAFEGUARDING THE EXISTENCE AND
APPEARANCE OF HISTORIC ELEMENTS OF THE
COMMUNITY.

WHY DO WE NEED A
HISTORIC PRESERVATION?
* IT IS AN EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURSES
* IT PRESERVES OLD METHODS OF
WORKMANSHIP

HISTORIC PRESERVATION MAY ALSO

HELP TO PREVENT SPRAWL. SINCE
HISTORIC BUILDINGS ALREADY EXIST,
AND SINCE ARE IN BUILT-UP AREAS,
EACH ONE THAT HAS REHABILATATED
AND USED ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A
NEW BUILDING IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT
YET BUILT UP.
