How does the NPS determine a rehabilitation project maintains the historic character of a property?
The NPS reviews the rehabilitation project for conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The entire project is reviewed, including related demolition and new construction, and is certified only if the overall rehabilitation project meets the Standards. For more information on the Standards visit the NPS Online Education website.
