Introduction
At the annual
Tuolumne County Historical Society’s Lamplight Dinner, the Landmarks
Committee honors homes (Heritage Home) and public buildings or
businesses (Gold Nugget) which are fifty years or older and recently
completed restoration or well-maintained through the years,
architecturally/historically unique, or associated with a long-time
local family.
Four approaches for
restoration and historic preservation:
-
Preservation
approach – one accepts maintenance of a property without
significant alteration and keeps its historic integrity of fabric
and features as much as possible.
-
Restoration
approach – one returns a building to its original architectural
style at a specific time period. Original features even in poor
condition are preferable to a replication of the feature.
-
Reconstruction –
one constructs a new replica of a historic structure that no
longer exists.
-
Rehabilitation (or
adaptive use) – one retains the historic structure’s architectural
integrity even though the original function is no longer viable.
It could be damaged or deteriorated, but it can be modified and
updated or a new use can be created for the structure or building.
