Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan to Monocacy Hall resulted in the replacement of slates with asphalt composite shingles. Whatever the justification, this approach cannot become the trend or standard practice for building renovations on campus. If at all possible, when historic roofing materials including flashing are replaced the new material should match in composition, color, size, configuration and appearance. Other examples of inappropriate roofing treatments include the oversized flashing on Comenius, the painted finials on Comenius, and the vinyl soffits on Zinzendorf. For additional information on general historic roofing issues please consult Preservation Brief #4: Roofing for Historic Buildings, prepared by the National Park Service, Technical Preservation Services. Another Preservation Brief has been prepared specific to issues associated with slate roofs; Preservation Brief #29: The Repair, Replacement and Maintenance of Historic Slate Roofs (see Appendix B).

Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan Chapter Nine Treatment Guidelines for Buildings 9.0 Introduction The Treatment Guidelines for Buildings should be used in conjunction with the existing conditions analysis and treatment recommendations for Moravian College’s historic buildings included in Chapter 8 of this Preservation Master Plan. While Chapter 8 identifies the materials, issues, and conditions associated with individual buildings at Moravian College, this chapter provides specific guidelines for the treatment of the various materials and features common to Moravian College’s buildings. The purpose of this chapter is to provide overarching preservation guidance and best-practice approaches for exterior building envelopes. General recommendations for historic interiors are also included. The architectural treatment guidelines contained in this chapter were developed based upon the issues observed in buildings surveyed and JMA’s previous experience working with historic buildings. The guidelines are a tool that will assist facility decision-makers in appropriate ways to manage, maintain, and treat historic buildings. The guidelines are generally organized according to the broad divisions used by the construction industry for organizing construction specifications. The broad divisions are broken down by building element, such as site work, masonry, exterior woodwork, roofing, windows, and doors, etc. Each section contains a brief description of the material and its use in the buildings on the Moravian College campus. A summary of typical conditions, checklist for inspections, overview of the causes of deterioration, and guidance for repair and replacement then follow for each building material or element. Applying the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and specifically the Standards for Rehabilitation are discussed in Chapter 4 – Stewardship. The Standards provide a strong but flexible philosophical foundation with a set of basic preservation approaches and principles for the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction of historic buildings. The Standards are not rules, nor do they provide universal answers for every situation, since each building presents unique issues and opportunities. The recommendations in this chapter are based on the Standards and emphasize the following approaches that should be incorporated into efforts associated with historic building stewardship. • Repair: Conduct regular inspections and replace deteriorated sections, features, and materials promptly. Materials and workmanship should be executed in-kind, that is, matching the historic fabric. • Replacement: If historic features and materials are too deteriorated to repair, they should be replaced in-kind to match the form, materials, detailing, and other physical and visual qualities of the historic fabric. • Reconstruction: Rebuilding missing features should only be undertaken based on historic drawings and/or photographic documentation. • New Construction/Additions: New work should be similar in size, scale, material, design, and color to the existing historic fabric and should not obscure or damage characterdefining features. Designs that mimic the historic appearance or are borrowed from another building are discouraged because they confuse the historic record and diminish the integrity of the resource. All proposals for work on historic buildings, whether they are repair, renovation, restoration, or new construction, should start with identification of the important design features and materials that make the building in question significant and unique. Chapter 8, Historic Buildings at Moravian College, is intended as a resource for significance and integrity assessments and provides baseline building-by-building information for this critical, yet simple, features assessment. The primary considerations that one should look for are building shape, materials, roof and roof features, windows John Milner Associates • October 2009 • Chapter 9 • Building Guidelines • 279
