Evaluating Plans to Erect Cell Towers Through a Local Community

Clear identification of the location of construction and areas proposed to be disturbed and their relation to property lines, buildings, roads, and waterbodies within one hundred (100) feet.

Quoted by Handler and Gable, critic Ada Louise Huxtable declares the newly constructed reproduction of Colonial Williamsburg as “too clean,” arguing that it “does not include the filth and stench that would have been commonplace.” (Source E) This sanitation of the truth completely misrepresents history, and the educational value greatly suffers. Conversely, the National Museum of the American Indian hopes to avoid this lack of judgment by dedicating itself to the “preservation, study, and exhibition of the life, languages, literature, history, and Arts of Native Americans.” (Source C) The main goal of the museum is to “span all major cultural areas” (C) and educate the public about and preserve the rich history of such a vast culture. The authenticity and significance of artifacts are important to representing culture and history, and the ability of these artifacts to educate should be a key factor of the selection process.

In my opinion the laws that need the must reworking is the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, more specifically section 106. While section 106 is a good attempt at this issue it falls short in many situations (Brashler 2016: 33). One issues is that it only applies to federal land or federally funded projects. In America we have a huge emphasis on private land ownership and individual property. This

The Old Pensacola City hall structure is a prime example of what constant restoration and proper up keep can achieve when handling a century old building. The City Hall building was completed in 1908 and maintained its original use until the 1980s when a new city hall was built at which point the original city hall building became the T.T Wentworth museum under the guidance of UWF. The preservation of buildings such as City Hall allow the historical culture of the city to be maintained while addressing the issue fulfilling the practical use for the building. City Hall would not be the only classic site preserved as the beautifully built Sacred Heart Hospital, which was built in 1912, has continue d to be maintained and preserved as it now functions as a animal hospital and a locally owned diner. The continual preservation of numerous buildings aroud the city has allowed Pensacola to remain both a modernized continually expanding city and a visual time capsule into centuries past of West

For both interior and exterior photos, be sure to focus on certain attributes of the buildings. For example the colors used in the make-up of the building, style, the age of the material, and its originality. Do not make careless mistakes, remember to log each section of photos in your photo log. The importance of keeping a photo log and field book while doing research is important because you do not want to leave out any important information and fieldwork is only Phrase I of the final

While abandoned buildings are familiar to most people, a generally accepted definition of an abandoned building, per se, has not been established (Shane, 2012). Because the term abandoned building means many things to different people, it is generally most effective to use a more inclusive definition (Shane, 2012). A swath of terms is associated with the idea of an abandoned building, such as property, lot, vacant, temporarily vacant, empty, dilapidated, and hazardous. These terms point to important considerations about whether a building is actually abandoned or just vacant for a time, for instance, while repairs are scheduled and made, or because the house serves as a seasonal residence (Shane, 2012). Typically, three conditions are associated with the classification of an abandoned building: (1) The owner can no longer claim property rights, (2) the property must have been vacant for some time, and (3) the building is considered a health hazard or a hazard to community welfare (Shane, 2012).

It will contain historical accuracy, to provide further meaning to the monument

As time has progressed on, in a little town in eastern West Virginia, it is as though time has taken a halt. In Elkins West Virginia nestled in the mountain tops a small community on a hill does its best to preserve history the best way it possibly could by holding one of oldest buildings in town on its foundation.

My choice for a building I feel is important to Florida's history is the Flagler Presbyterian Church located in St. Augustine Florida. Its founder, Henry Flagler was a multi-million dollar real estate investor and business man credited with being among the most influential contributers to the history of Florida's East Coast. For instance, Flagler founded The Memorial Presbyterian Church of St. Augustine in addition to financing many resorts and retail shops along Florida's East Coast many of which are still in use today. In 1888 Flagler hired John Carrere and Thomas Hastings to design, plan, and unbelievable construct the church in under two years. Being that both men were fans of the Venetian style architecture of the St. Marks Basilica Church

The first point that influenced my research was to demonstrate the historical significance of Ash Lawn-Highland. By evaluating the historical significance, I would analyze the architectural changes of the structure.

Its historic district includes over 130 structures dating from 1830 to the present and is an

This report from the Ohio Historical Society proposes a Historic Site Management Plan for Newark Earthworks State Memorial. It provides details on how to use this plan, its methodology, the publics and advisory panel input and its priorities. Further, this document included a detailed chronological account of prehistory occupancy and important date, as well as, historical ownership and occupancy of the Newark sites. Discussion of their management framework included management strategies, access to the sites, cultural preservation, treatment plan and also, an informational brochure and visitor’s facilities. The appendix of this report include among other things, a brief history of Newark earthwork, deeds and leases, and also recommendations from the advisory panel. I find this significant because it contains valuable historical records of occupation and ownership post the 17th-century, and absence of any records of prior occupation and ownership of the earlier Hopewell culture, that is thought to have built most of these earthworks. Although this source doesn’t answer the question who built these earthwork and why was it built, it gives account of a solid comprehensive timeline from post European contact to modern century that I find relevant to the Newark Great Oval

The paper I am doing an overview on is Fire Escape Codes In Historic Buildings by Jeff T. Johnson. Johnson focuses on a town in Rhode Island called Pawtucket. In 1793, America’s first textile mill was built, but decades later there were 100 other mills constructed. By the 1940’s, most of these mills were abandoned and out of shape until Rhode Island passed it’s Historic Preservation Tac Credit. The reason for this shift in the 1940’s was because after World War II, textile mills moved south for cheaper labor. This then turned these old mills into residential homes relying on adequate fire escapes. Then Johnson brings up Richard Moe who is the President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. He brings up

2013 Synthesis Essay Although there are many important factors a group or agency should consider when creating a monument, the most important are location, the impact of the design, and the overall purpose. The most effective monuments combine all three elements in a way that is unique to the person or event being memorialized, creating a significant and distinct tribute. Numerous components for the location for the prospective monument should assessed prior to construction.

When trying to trigger a memory people often look at something that will remind them. Many historical moments are linked to buildings, Mount Vernon, and Monticello are a few that quickly come to mind. The link between a visual representation and how they create or change the memories connected to them is an important one to think on and protect. This is where the creation of historical preservation is created. Preservation protects a building from demolition and also allows them to not conform to certain building codes if they would damage the historical value of the building. This is determined by a series of tests, research and forms done in accordance with the National Preservation Act of 1966 (Wallace, 191).
