The wholebuilding must be considered, and its significant features must be identified” (NPS1995:4). The 70 exceptionally significant historic properties identified at the 13 NASACenters and component facilities include several large, multi-functional buildings whereadditions and modifications are common. For many of these, the building derives itsexceptional significance under Criterion A and/or C from specialized facilities and/orequipment located within only a portion of the overall building; the remaining areas ofthe building have no significant historical associations. Thus, the respective NRHP-listedJuly 2008Archaeological Consultants, Inc.

Identifying and understanding the character-defining elements or features ofthese historic properties is a fundamental consideration when determining the effects of aproposed undertaking. As a result of the agency-wide historic facilities survey, effortswere made by the contractors to identify these character-defining elements or featureswithin the historic properties, as identified in Table 6.4.Table 6.4.

While all 70 ofNASA’s SSP-related historic properties have exceptionally significant associations withhistorical events (Criterion A), some are also distinguished by their engineering orarchitecture, as well as specialized features and equipment. These are importantconsiderations in the selection of mitigation measures. Some of the suggested mitigationmeasures, such as an oral history program, are already in place at some NASA Centers.Standard treatments may include, but not be limited to, the following:Documentation: A standard treatment for most historic properties which will beadversely affected by NASA undertakings is documentation of the “end stage” conditionof the historic property to Historic American Building Survey/Historic AmericanEngineering Record (HABS/HAER) standards, in accordance with the Secretary of theInterior’s Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation (Federal Register,July 2008Archaeological Consultants, Inc.
