Applicable Guidelines
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings.
See Guidelines- 1) Signs should be viewed as part of an overall graphics system for the building. They do not have to do all the "work" by themselves. The building's form, name and outstanding features, both decorative and functional, also support the advertising function of a sign. Signs should work with the building, rather than against it.
- 2) New signs should respect the size, scale and design of the historic building. Often features or details of the building will suggest a motif for new signs.
- 3) Sign placement is important: new signs should not obscure significant features of the historic building. (Signs above a storefront should fit within the historic signboard, for example.)
- 4) New signs should also respect neighboring buildings. They should not shadow or overpower adjacent structures.
- 5) Sign materials should be compatible with those of the historic building. Materials characteristic of the building's period and style, used in contemporary designs, can form effective new signs.
- 6) New signs should be attached to the building carefully, both to prevent damage to historic fabric, and to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Fittings should penetrate mortar joints rather than brick, for example, and sign loads should be properly calculated and distributed.
