Applicable Guidelines
- The houses in the Edgewood-Park City Historic District may have been roofed with slate, tile, wood shingles, metal, or with asphalt shingles.
- 1) . . .Replacement roofs must copy the shape and pitch of original roofs, and the soffit, fascia and trim detail between roof and wall should mimic the original. 3.) Repair or replace roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding and other unique roof features). Use some of these details in designing new buildings.
- 4.) Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate original roofing materials as much as possible. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are slate, standing seam metal, or metal or wood shingle roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray or black or dark reddish brown, to simulate the original roof colors.
- NPS Preservation Brief #19
- Shingle fabrication was revolutionized in the early 19th century by steam-powered saw mills. Shingle mills made possible the production of uniform shingles in mass quantities. The sawn shingle of uniform taper and smooth surface eliminated the need to hand dress. The supply of wooden shingles was therefore no longer limited by local factors. These changes coincided with the popularity of architectural styles such as Carpenter Gothic and Queen Anne that used shingles to great effect. Wooden shingles, however, were never abandoned. Even in the 20th century, architectural styles such as the Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival, used wooden shingles.
