Conservation Plans

GOAL - to conserve heritage values and extend the physical life

COMPONENTS - identify values and Character Defining Elements

INTERVENTION – what level?(preservation, rehabilitation, restoration)

APPLY – Standards & Guidelines

Page 14: Session One: The Concept of Conservation Looking after a place so as to retain its meaning. Main Approaches.

Examples of the Standards &

Guidelines being applied

or not

Page 15: Session One: The Concept of Conservation Looking after a place so as to retain its meaning. Main Approaches.

1. Conserve the heritage value of a historic place. Do not remove, replace, or substantially alter its intact or repairable character-defining elements. Do not move a part of a historic place if its current

location is a character-defining element.

2. Conserve changes to a historic place which, over time, have become

character-defining elements in their own right. Hawks Avenue in Strathcona (1905 & 1924)Circa 1945

4 Recognize each historic place as physical record of its time, place and use. Do not create a false sense of historical

development by adding elements from other historic places or other properties or by combining features of the same property that

never coexisted.

5. Find a use for a historic place that requires minimal or no change to its character-defining elements.

6. Protect and, if necessary, stabilize a historic place until any subsequent intervention is undertaken. Protect and preserve archaeological resources in place. Where there is potential for disturbance of archaeological resources, take mitigation

measures to limit damage and loss of information.

7. Evaluate the existing condition of character-defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest

means possible for any intervention. Respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention.

Before After cleaning

8. Maintain character-defining elements on an on-going basis. Repair character-defining elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized

conservation methods. Replace in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character-defining elements, where there are surviving prototypes.

Princess Avenue, Strathcona

Page 37: Session One: The Concept of Conservation Looking after a place so as to retain its meaning. Main Approaches.

9. Make any intervention needed to preserve character-defining elements physically and visually compatible with the historic place, and identifiable upon close inspection. Document any intervention

for future reference.

• what looks original/what looks like its built later?• develop a story of the importance of the place• compile a list of elements critical to showing the important parts of its evolution

Reading a building Part 3:

Piecing together the evolution of the building, and its

values:

Page 46: Session One: The Concept of Conservation Looking after a place so as to retain its meaning. Main Approaches.

Putting it together. . .

. . . Is the foundation for conservation plan

• Knowing the building parts and their condition • Having a fair idea of the assemblies• Having a likely scenario of the evolution of the building and values
