Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 Some exterior alterations and additions to historic buildings are often needed to assure their continued use, particularly when adapting a historic multifamily residence to single-family use or adapting a historic residential building for commercial use. When such alterations or additions are made, the project is described as rehabilitation. While rehabilitation projects are frequently appropriate, it is important that alterations and additions are compatible and do not radically change, obscure or destroy the features of the building that define its historic character. Repair of historic buildings or their components is often necessary and desired to assure a building‘s continued use and to correct deterioration of components of the building such as siding, trim, roof, or window parts. The reconstruction and restoration of the parapet and attic dormer windows at 311 NW 19th Street was achieved with the help of a historic photograph (above: historic; upper right: before restoration; lower right: after restoration) 1.10 DESIGN REVIEW: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS Design review for Oklahoma City‘s historic districts and landmarks is concerned primarily with the primary facade or "public face" of buildings as opposed to back or side elevations that are not readily visible from the public streets or rights-of-way. Public and private spaces are usually both visually and physically connected. City streets and sidewalks connect with individual driveways and walkways forming a physical and visual network of public and private spaces. In using city streets and sidewalks, the public has a range of view into spaces that property owners may consider private spaces. This view integrates visual qualities along a given streetscape, such as setback, scale and massing of buildings. Ideally, in a historic district, these qualities create a visual continuity. This premise forms the basis for design guidelines, assisting property owners in maintaining individual and collective historic character within a cohesive district and for a historic property.

Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 Public view does not stop at the vertical plane of a building face. Rather, there is depth to public view, and a person moving along a city street or sidewalk can see portions of side elevations of buildings, as well as into back yards. Landscaping and privacy fences can help minimize the ―access‖ of public view into back yards. However, historic property owners should keep in mind the visibility of some portion of side and back yards from the street and public sidewalks. The most private space on private property is an area directly behind a building. These areas are ideal for site additions such as decks, patios, outdoor furniture, pools, fountains, terraces, sculptures, planters, trellises and pergolas. Design review is more flexible for back elevations not readily visible from public streets or sidewalks and out of public view. Oklahoma City Historic Districts 39
