Excerpt from Introduction

[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”warning” message_box_color=”warning” icon_fontawesome=”” css=””]This publication compliments the guidance provided in National Register Bulletins by providing examples on specific topics.[/vc_message][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. The seven aspects of integrity—location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association—are the lens through which historic properties are assessed. But remember, “integrity” is not “condition,” a distinction that has existed since the inception of the National Register program. This issue of the Best Practices Review looks at examples of properties that are in poor condition but retain integrity for purposes of National Register listing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1758815062001{margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][info-box-shortcode icon=”fa fa-solid fa-rectangle-list” title=”Table of Contents”]
