- The National Park Service’s Preservation Brief #18, Rehabilitating Interiors in Historic Buildings - Identifying and Preserving Character-Defining Elements.
To ensure compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, rehabilitation plans shall also be reviewed by a qualified consulting architectural historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Architectural History prior to action by the Planning Commission. The rehabilitation plans shall meet a minimum of 7 out of 10 of the standards.
The Secretary of the Interior’s Standard #6, specifically, requires that replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. As nearly 50 percent of the building is missing due to fires and vandalism, such evidence is key to its successful rehabilitation. Original plans and early photographs of the Roundhouse are available at the Library and Collections Department of the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. These original plans and early photographs shall be used when preparing the rehabilitation plan for this building to ensure that rehabilitation efforts will adequately preserve the historic architectural and structural integrity of the building.
