AUTO INSURANCE POLICIES FOR THE HOLLYBRAE SEwEa
AND CARRILL0 RANCH RESTOMTION PROJECTS
I am willing to recommend that the City accept the auto policies offered by the contrac
on the HolIybrae and Carillo Ranch projects. I believe that these policies, although
exactly what we would want, meet the contract provisions as written. I realize 3
interpretation of the contract documents would be different, and I respect your positioi
this issue. That is why I have asked that we amend the contract documents in sev
areas dealing with Auto Insurance, Lability Insurance and Workers Compensa
Insurance. The new contract language should be clearer and more direct in describing
types of insurance coverage we are requiring.
I greatly appreciate your help on this issue. I will get the new contract language to

LEO CAIBRILLO RANCH CONTRACT
The surplus line broker affidavits, dated October 15 and Octobc
17, submitted by Eichberg Associates for the Carrillo Ranc contract are approved.
However, I think we should research this issue for the future. TI affidavits seem to say that general contractors cannot get generi commercial liability insurance policies from admitted insurers . California. Since we routinely receive policies from Californ. admitted insurers for our public works contracts, I do nc understand how this could be true. I recommend that a list 1 prepared of the admitted insurance carriers used in the last fii or six public works contracts. Why were these contractors able 1 get insurance which did not violate our standards?

LEO CAIUZILLO RANCE STRUCTURAL STABILIZATION PUBLIC WORKS CONTR
The memo from the risk manager does not address the concerns t: I expressed to you in my September 19, 1991, memorand Scottsdale Insurance Company is not authorized to do business
California. If so, t
are required to meet the requirements of city council resolut
90-96 by providing a surplus line carrier affidavit.
The automobile liability policy is very limited and does not co "any auto," It has been our policy in the past to require 'I
auto."
The workers' compensation carrier does not have an approved Bes rating, If the risk manager believes that an exception should made for the workers' compensation carrier he should explain
reason and document it in writing.
Also, I would like a clarification in writing of the acceptabil of the exclusions to the general liability policy for bodily inj and property damage arising out of any act or omission of the c and the exclusion for property damage to property owned by
city,
They appear to be a surplus line carrier.
, I think this is very important.

Attention: Wayne Donaldson
Subject: Letter of reference for Ace Repointing Service
Dear Mr. Donaldson:
At the request of Mr. Tim Gohr of Eagle Builders, I have prepared this letter of reference
to state my knowledge of the experience of their proposed subcontractor, Ace Repointing
Service, in working on adobe buildings.
In 1988, following the 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake, Kariotis and Associates,
Structural Engineers was contracted by the California State Office of the State Architect
to develop a method for stabilization of the earthquake damaged walls of the Pi0 Pic0
Mansion at the Pi0 Pic0 State Historical Park in Whittier, California. I was the principal
in charge of that project.
The result of that project was the development of a material and a procedure for
stabilization of adobe walls by injection of a modified mud into the walls to tightly fill
voids and cracks, and restore continuity.
Ace Repointing Service participated in the development of that procedure by providing
personnel and equipment during the in-the-wall testing phase of the project, and for the
demonstration project in which they were responsible for mixing the materials,
preparation of walls, and for injection of the grout. Their efforts and practical insights
into procedures were important contributions to the development of the system.
The materials and procedures have now been used by California State Department of
Parks and Recreations crews at 3 histortc sites that I know of, and by GiI Sanchez on at
least one historic site.
During the work at the Pi0 Pic0 Mansion, I took advantage of ample opportunity to
discuss with Sandy Pringle, president of Ace Repointing, and Terry Allsworth, their
foreman, the characteristics of adobe buildings and the level of care required when
working on adobe preservation. Both demonstrated understanding and care for the adobe
building.
I do not hesitate to recommend Ace Repolnting Service for stabilization work on historic
adobe buildings: they be my first choice. If you have any questions, please call.

RE: Adobe repair of the Pi0 Pic0 Mansion in the City of Whittier, CA
Dear Mr. Gohr:
Originally this mansion, constructed with adobe, was built in 1850 by the
order of Pi0 Pico, then governor of California.
California took ownership. From 1944 to 1967 the mansion underwent three
restorations.
The 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake left the adobe walls standing but with
extensive cracks and other damage.
of the State 6f California contracted Kariotis and Associates of South
Pasadena, California to design a system and procedure to stabilize and
restore the walls.
During the period of 1988 to 1990 Ace Repointing Service, Inc. worked with
Kariotis and Associates and the State of California, Department of General
Services, Office of the State Architect in developing and implementing the
State-of-the-Art technique for adobe repair.
specially designed equipment enables the special design mix to be applied
under a controlled pressure system that ensures proper flow characteristics.
The various ingredients used to form the material, being basically a soil
material, has properties compatible with the existing adobe. The material
has lubrication and fluidity properties and reacts chemically to form a
cementitious component that improves strength and hardness and reduces
shrinkage.
Ace Repointing Service, Inc. completed its repair work in mid 1990. The
Office of the State Architect approved our work.

I
A. Testing the adobe samples is required to determine specific physil
characteristics of the adobes with which you are working. Only from the
analyses can a replacement adobe be specified. The testing should include t
a. Particle size distribution (texture or soil classification).
b. Soluble salt content.
c. Plastic and liquid limits.
d. Compressive strength.
Particle Size: The most important analysis is particle size distribution (or sc
classification). The goal of this analysis is to determine both the sizes of the sar
silt, and clay particles found within the sample and the relative percentage (
weight) of each. First the sample is crushed and weighed: then it is sifted. I
sifting a sample of at least lOOg through a series of sieves, separate the sand
grain size (see ASTM D-22). The sieves (or screens) have their own designatic
system (for example, sieve 10 = 2mm, sieve 35 = OSmm, sieve 120 = 125ur
and sieve 200 = 75um). Particles passing the 200 sieve are considered the fine
The separation of sand allows analysis of the color, shape, and character. P
particle size testing to be performed by a licensed soils engineer. The Contractc
is to pay for all tests.
Test data should be used to develop a compatible material specification.
Adobe bricks should be natural, untreated, sun-dried units with a sand-silt-cl:
ratio compatible with the original material.
The soil used for new adobes should contain less than 0.10 percent soluble sal
or less than the existing adobes, whichever is less. The plastic and elastic limi
of the new soil should be compatible with the existing adobes.
The plastic limit should not be below 15% moisture content by weight.
The compressive strength should be 150 psi or above unless a detaile
engineering study is completed by a qualified structural engineer.
The moisture content should be below 15% at the time of installation.

C. The adobe brick needs to be moistened to provide approximately 1/4"
saturation of water. This can be done by misting the wall through wet burl
bags hung approximately 3" from the face of the adobe bricks. Care should
taken not to overwet the wall, because "melting" could occur and the wall cor

D. After the existing adobe bricks are sufficiently moistened, the mud shall
prepared using the correct composition. At greatly fractured walls add a sm
amount of emulsified asphalt to the mud in the following proportions: One (
part cement, two (2) parts SUMP?? Brickyard Soil, three (3) parts sand, one a
one-half (1 -1/2) gallons emulsified asphalt per sack of cement used in the morl
mix. Contact Hans Sumpf Company, Madera, CA (209) 439-3214 for produc
Working up the wall, all of the large holes and gaps should be packed tight
with the mud, but not to exceed 3/4" build-out at any one time. The mud shou
be allowed to dry (cracks will occur). This process should continue until
reasonable flush surface has been achieved against the adobe brick. At all time
the wall should be kept moist, not wet. If water in the adobe mud is lost 1

a thickness of 1/4". The bricks should be previously scored with a dull knife
grooves that are a 1/4" to 1/2" deep in a criss-cross 45 pattern. The adobe mi
should be left to dry behind the burlap bags. The bags should be kept wet, b

Whether built in the 17th century or in the 20th century, adobe buildings share common problems of maintenance and
deterioration. This brief discusses the traditional materials and construction of adobe buildings and the causes of adobe
deterioration. It also makes recommendations for preserving
historic adobe buildings. By its composition. adobe constmc-
tion is inclined to deteriorate; however. the buildings can be made durable and renewable when properly maintained.
building methods employed in the Southwest in the
century are still used today. Because adobe bricks arr
fired in a kiln as are clay bricks, they do not permanl harden, but remain unstable-they shrink and swell
stantly with their changing water content. Their strength fluctuates with their water content: the higher the \ content, the lower the strength. Adobe will not permanently bond with metal, wool stone because it exhibits much greater movement than 1 other materials, either separating, cracking, or twi where they interface. Yet, many of these more SI building materids such as fired brick, wood, and lime

What is Adobe?
ne adobe, or sundried brick. is one of the oldest and most common building materials known to man. Traditionally, adobe bricks were never kiln fired. Unbaked adobe bricks
consisted of sand, sometimes gravel, clay, water, and often
straw or grass mixed together by hand. formed in wooden
available adobe-like bricks are fired. These are similar in size to unbaked bricks, but have a different texture, color, and
containing cement, asphalt. and/or bituminous materials. but these also differ from traditional adobe in their appearance
and strength. Traditional adobe construction techniques in North Amer-
ica have not vaned widely for over 3'/z centuries. Adobe

Adobe Construction Techniques IF? m"'
The Brick: The adobe brick is molded from sand and mixed with water to a plastic consistency. Commonly, or grass is included as a binder. Although they do not reinforce the bricks or give them added long-term stre straw and grass do hefp the bricks shrink more unifc while they dry. More important for durability, howev

@ been as successful in bonding adobe bricks. Today. cement
and lime mortars are commonly used with stabilized adobe bricks. but cement mortars are incompatible with unstabil-
ized adobe because the two have different thermal expansion and contraction rates. Cement mortars thereby accelerate the deterioration of adobe bricks since the mortars are stronger than the adobe.
Building Foundations: Early adobe building foundations varied because of the difference in local building practices
and availability of materials. Many foundations were large
and substantially constructed. but others were almost non-
existent. Most often, adobe building foundations were con-
structed of bricks. fieldstones. or cavity walls (double) infilled with rubble stone. tile fragments. or seasheils. Adobe buildings were rarely constructed over basements or crawl- spaces.
Wails: Since adobe construction was load-bearing with low
structural strength, adobe walls tended to be massive. and
seldom rose over 1 stories. In fact. the maximum height of
adobe mission churches in the Southwest was approximately 35 feet. Often buttresses braced exterior walls for added stability . In some parts of the Southwest, it was common to place a long wooden timber within the last courses of adobe bricks.
This timber provided a long horizontal beating plate for the
roof thereby distributing the weight of the roof along the
wall.

Roofs: Early Southwest adobe roofs ( 17th-mid-19th centu- ries) tended to be flat with low parapet walls. These roofs consisted of logs which supported wooden poles, and which in turn supported wooden lathing or layers of twigs covered
with packed adobe earth. The wood was aspen, mesquite,
(called “vi,vcx.s”) or shaped squared timbers were spaced on close (2-3 feet or less) centers resting either on the horizontal wooden member which topped the adobe wall. or on
decorated cantilevered blocks, called “corbels,” which were
set into the adobe wall. Traditionally, these vigos often
projected through the wall facades creating the typical adobe

Wooden poles about 2 inches in diameter (called "luriirs")
were then laid across the top of the +.US. Handsplit planks
(called "(.(dro.s*' if cedar and ".~t~vin~.~'' if cypress) instead
of poles were used when available. In some areas, these were laid in a herringbone pattern. In the west Texas and
Tucson areas, .~ir#uirro (cactus) ribs were used to span
between r*i,vir.s. After railroad transportation arrived in most areas. sawn boards and planks. much like roof sheathing, became available and was often used in late-19th- and early-
ZOth-century buildings or for repairs to earlier ones.
Next cedar twigs. plant fibers, or fabric were placed on
top of the poles or planks. These served as a lathing on
which the 6 or more inches of adobe earth was compacted. If planks were used. twigs were not necessary. A coating of
adobe mud was then applied Overall. The flat roofs were
sloped somewhat toward drains of hollowed logs (called cirniilrs." or "pirrpo/ia.s"), tile. or sheet metal that proj- ected through the parapet walls.
Gable and hipped roofs became increasingly popular in adobe buildings in the 19th and 20th centuries. "Territorial"
styles and preferences for certain materials developed. For
example, roof tiles were widely used in southern California.
Although the railroad brought in some wooden shingles and
some terra-cotta. sheet metal roofing was the prevalent material for roofs in New Mexico.
Floors: Historically, flooring materials were placed directly
on the ground with little or no subflooring preparation.
Flooring materials in adobe buildings have varied from earth to adobe brick, fired brick, tile, or flagstone (called "lujus"), to conventional wooden floors.

Traditional Surface Coatings
Adobe surfaces are notoriously fragile and need frequent
new adobe walls. surface coatings such as mud plaster, lime plaster. whitewash. and stucco have been used. Such coat- ings applied to the exterior of adobe construction have
retarded surface deterioration by offering a renewable sur- face to the adobe wall. In the past, these methods have been inexpensive and readily available to the adobe owner as a Solution to periodic maintenance and Visual impr0Vement.
However, recent increases in labor COStS and changes in
cultural and socio-economic values have caused many adobe building owners to seek more lasting matends as alternatives to these traditional and OIICe-ineXpenSiVe Surface COatingS.
Mud Plaster: Mud plaster has long been used as a surface
coating. Like adobe, mud plaster is composed of clay, sand,
water. and straw or grass. and therefore exhibits sympathetic
properties to those of the original adobe. The mud plaster
bonds to the adobe because the two are made of the same
materials. Although applying mud piaster requires little skill,
it is a time-COnSUming and laborious process. Once in place,
the mud plaster must be smoothed. This is done by hand; sometimes deerskins, sheepskins. and small. slightly rounded stones are used to smooth the plaster to create a "polished"
surface. In some areas. pink or ochre pigments are mixed into the final layer and "polished."
Whitewash: Whitewash has been used on earthen buildings
since before recorded history. Consisting of ground gypsum rock. water, and clay, whitewash acts as a sealer, which can be either brushed on the adobe wail or applied with large pieces of coarse fabric such as burlap.

used to repair or rebuild pans of the walls. The destructive effects of moisture on adobe buildings may be substantially halted by severd remedies.
1. Shrubs. trees, and other foundation plantings may be causing physical damage. Their roots may be growing into the adobe, and/or they rnay be trapping excessive moisture in their roots and conducting it into walls. Their
removal might be considered to halt this process. 2. Level ground immediately adjacent to the walls rnay be
causing poor drainage. Regrading could be considered so
that the ground slopes away from the building, eliminating
rainwater pools. 3. The installation of footing drains may be considered.
Trenches about 2 to 2!h feet wide and \everdl feet deep
are dug around the adobe building at the base of the walls
or at the foundation if there is any. If the soil is weak. it
may be necessary to slope the sides of the trench to
prevent cave-in of the trench and subsequent damage to
the wall. The walls and bottom of the trench >hould be
lined with a polyethylene vapor barrier to prevent the
collected water from saturating the surrounding soil and
adobe wall. Clay tile. or plastic pipe. which drain to a sump or to an open gutter, are then laid in the bottom of the trench. The trench is filled with gravel to within 6
inches of grade. The remaining excavation is then filled to
grade with porous soil.

factor in adobe fabric erosion. Evidence of wind erosion is often difficult to isolate because the resuits are similar to

using fencing or trees. Care should be taken to plant trees
far enough away from the structure SO that the roots will not
destroy the foundation or trap moisture.
Vegetation, Insects, and Vermin: Vegetation and pests are
natural phenomena that can accelerate adobe deterioration.
Seeds deposited by the wind or by animals may gelminate in adobe walls or roofs as they would in my soil. The action of roots may break down adobe bricks or Cause moisture
retention which will harm the structure. Animals. birds. and insects often live in adobe structures. burrowing and nesting in walls or in foundations. These pests uriderlnine and destroy the structural soundness of the adobe budding. The possibility of termite infestation should not be overlooked
since termites can travel through adobe walls as they do through natural soil. Wood members (lintels. floors, window and door shutters. and roof members) are all vulnerable to termite attack and destruction.
It is important to rid adobe structures immediately of all
plant, animal, and insect pests and to take preventive measures against their return. Seedlings should be removed from the adobe as soon as they are discovered- Large Plants should be removed <arefully SO that their root Systems Will not dislodge adobe material. Pest control involving the use
of chemicals should be examined carefully in order to assess
the immediate and longlasting effects Of the chemicals On the
adobe building. Professional advice in this area is important
not only because chemicals may be transported into the
walls by capillary action and have a damaging effect on the adobe fabric, but also for reasons of human and environmen-
tal safety.
Material Incompatibilities: As adobe buildings are contin- ually swelling and shrinking. it is likely that repair work has already been carried out sometime during the life of the building. Philosophies regarding adobe preservation have changed, and so have restoration and rehabilitation tech- niques. Techniques acceptable only IO years ago are no longer considered appropriate. Until recently, adobe bricks have been repointed with portland cement; deteriorated wooden lintels and doors have been replaced with steel ones;
and adobe walls have been sprayed with plastic: or latex
surface coatings. The hygroscopic nature of adobe has
rendered these techniques ineffective and, most important,
destructive. The high strength of portland cement mortar
and stucco has caused the weaker adobe brick to crack and
crumble during the differential expansion of these incompat-
ible materials. Steel lintels are much more rigid than adobe.
When the building expands. the adobe walls twist because
they are more flexible than the steel. Plastic and latex wall coatings have been used to seal the surface, keeping it from expanding with the rest of the brick. Portions of the wall
have consequently broken off. In some instances. incornpat- Cement Mortar Incompiltibiiity.

Repairing and Maintaining the Historic Adobe Building
Once the adobe deterioration and any resulting structural damage is repaired. the restoration of the adobe building can proceed. Careful attention should be given to replace, repair, and/or reproduce all damaged materials with traditional or original materials.
patching and Repairing Adobe Brick: In patch,ng and
replacing adobe brick. every reasonable effort should be made Io find ciay w,th a teXture and color similar to the
disintegrated, it may be patched in piace. The deteriorated
material may be scraped OMt and replaced with appropriate
adobe mud. Often fragments of [he orig,naj adobe brick have been ground up, mixed with water. and reused to patch the
eroded area. However, some professionals advise against the
reuse of material which has spalled off because it frequently contains a high concentration of salts.
If a substantial amount of the brick has been destroyed or
spalled, commercially made adobe bricks and half-bricks can
be obtained, or they may be made at the site or nearby. Generally these are 3 or 4 inches thick, and ideally they are
composed of unstabilized adobe (that is, without any chemi- cal additives). The deteriorated adobe bricks should be scraped out to insert the new bricks. If most of the brick is
not deteriorated, then the deteriorated portion may be
replaced with a half-brick. It may be necessary to cut back
into undeteriorated portions of the brick to achieve a flush
fit of the new or half-bricks. Spray (do not soak) the new brick and surrounding area lightly with water to facilitate a
better bond. Too much moisture can cause swelling. Always
use traditional adobe mud mortar.
When entire bricks or sections of the brick walls have to
be replaced. caution should be exercised when buying ready-
made bricks. Many are now manufactured using stabilizing
agents (porttad cement, lime. or emuis$& asphalt) in their
composition. While the inclusion of these agents in new adobe bricks is a technical advancement in their durability,
they will prove incompatible with the fabric of the historic

adobe building. Concrete blocks and cinderblocks are like-
wise tempting solutions to extensive adobe brick replace- ment; but. like commercially stabilized adobe bricks. they are not compatible with older and more unstable adobe bricks. However, concrete blocks have been used for interior partitions successfully.
Patching and Replacing Mortar: In repairing loose and
deteriorated adobe mortar, care should also be taken to match the originat material. color. and texture. Most impor-
tant, never replace adobe mud mortar with lime mortar or
portland cement mortar. It is a common error to assume that mottar hardness Or strength is a measure Of its suitability in adobe repair Or reCOnStmCtiOn. Mortars composed Of port-
land Cement Or lime do not have the same thermal expansion rate as adobe brick. With the continual thermal expansion and contraction Of adobe bricks. portland cement or lime mortars Will cause the bricks--the weaker material--to crack, crumble, and eventually disintegrate. It is recognized. however. that SOme late historic adobe
buildings have always had portland cement or lime mortars
used in their initial construction. The removal and replace-
merit Of these mOrtarS with mud mortar is not advised because their removal is usually destructive to the adobe bricks . in repairing adobe cracks. a procedure similar to repoint-
ing masonry joints may be used. It is necessary to rake out the cracks to a depth Of 2 or 3 times the width Of a mortar
joint to obtain a good “key” (mechanical bond) of the mortar to the adobe bricks. The bricks should be sprayed
lightly with water to increase the cohesive bond. A trowel or a large grout gun with new adobe mud rfm-tar may then be used to fill the cracks.
Repairing and Replacing Wooden Members: Rotted or ter-
mite infested wood members such as \.igcis, sur.ino5, lintels,
wall braces, or flooring should be repaired or replaced.
Wood should always be replaced with wood. For carved
corbels, however. specially formulated low-strength epoxy consolidants and patching compounds may be used to make
repairs, thus saving original craftsmanship. Tests, however, should be made prior to repairs to check on desired results
since they usually are not reversible. This’is an area of building repair that ought not be attempted by the amateur.
For funher information. see Epoxies for Wood Repuirs in Historic Buildings. cited in the .reading list of this brief.
Patching and Repiacing Surface Coatings: Historically, al- most every adobe building surface was coated. When these
coatings deteriorate, they need to be replaced. Every effort should be made to recoat the surface with the same material that originally coated the surface. When the coating has been mud plaster. the process requires that the deteriorated mud plaster be scraped off and replaced with like materials and similar techniques, attempt- ing in all cases to match the repair work as closely as
possible to the original. It is always better to cover adobe with mud plaster even though the mud plaster must be
renewed more frequently. The process is not so simple where lime plaster and portland cement stuccos are involved. As much of the deteriorated surface coating as possible should be removed
without damaging the adobe brick fabric underneath. Never put another coat of lime piaster or portland cement stucco over a deteriorated surface coating. If serious deterioration
does exist on the surface, then it is likely that far greater
deterioration exists below. Generally this problem is related to water, in which case it is advisable to consult a profes-
sional.
If extensive recoatings in lime plaster or portlanc
stucco are necessary, the owner of an adobe buildi consider fumng out the walls with lathing, then p over. thus creating a moisture barrier. Always pa

The windows on many historic buildings are an important
aspect of the architectural character of those buildings.
Their design. craftsmanship, or other qualities may make
them worthy of preservation. This is self-evident for or-
narnental windows, but it can be equally true for
wa.rehouses or factories where the windows may be the
most dominant visual element of an otherwise plain building (see figure 1). Evaluating the significance of
these windows and planning for their repair or replace-
ment can be a complex process involving both objective
anti subjective considerations. The Secretary of the ln-
ten:or's Standnrds for Rehabilitation, and the accompany-
ing guidelines, call for respecting the significance of
original materials and features, repairing and retaining
them wherever possible, and when necessary, replacing
them in kind. This Brief is based on the issues of

Physical Evaluation dow .
The key to successful planning for window treatments is a careful evaluation of existing physical conditions on a
unit-by-unit basis. A graphic or photographic system may
be devised to record existing conditions and illustrate the
scope of any necessary repairs. Another effective tool is a window schedule which lists all of the parts of each win-
dow unit. Spaces by each part allow notes on existing
conditions and repair instructions. When such a schedule is completed, it indicates the precise tasks to be performed
in the repair of each unit and becomes a part of the
specifications. In any evaluation. one should note at a
minimum, 1) window location, 2) condition of the paint,
3) condition of the frame and sill, 4) condition of the sash
(rails, stiles and muntins), 5) glazing problems, 6) hard-
ware, and 7) the overall condition of the window (a-
cellent, fair, poor, and so forth).
insect attack, and lack of maintenance can contribute to
window deterioration, but moisture is the primary con-
tributing factor in wooden window decay. All window units should be inspected to see if water is entering around
the edges of the frame and. if so, the joints or Seams should be caulked to eliminate this danger. The glazing
putty should be checked for cracked, loose, or missing sections which allow water to saturate the wood, especial-
ly at the joints. The back putty.on the interior side of the
pane should also be inspected, because it creates a seal which prevents condensation from running down into the
joinery. The sill should be examined to insure that it slopes downward away from the building and allows water to drain off. In addition, it may be advisable to cut
a dripline along the underside of the sill. This almost in-
visible treatment will insure proper water run-off, particu-

t:ion of the wood. Sound wood will separate in long
fibrous splinters, but decayed wood will lift UP in short ir-
reguIar pieces due to the breakdown of fiber strength.
Another method of testing for soundness consists of pushing a sharp object into the wood, perpendicular to the surface. If deterioration has begun from the hidden :;ide of a member and the core is badly decayed, the visi-,
tile surface may appear to be sound wood. Pressure on
the probe can force it through an apparently sound skin
to penetrate deeply into decayed wood. This technique is cqmially useful for checking sills where visual access to the underside is restricted.
Following the inspection and analysis of the results, the
scope of the necessary repairs will be evident and a plan
for the rehabilitation can be formulated. Generally the ac-
tions necessary to return a window to "like new" condi-
tion Will fall into three broad categories: 1) routine main-
t:enance procedures, 2) structural stabilization, and 3)
parts replacement. These categories will be discussed in
the following sections and will be referred to respectively
as Repair Class I, Repair Class 11, and Repair Class 111. I%& successive repair class represents an increasing level
of difficulty, expense, and work time. Note that most of
the points mentioned in Repair Class I are routine main- tenance items and should be provided in a regular main-
tenance program for any building. The neglect of these
routine items can contribute to many common window problems.
Before undertaking any of the repairs mentioned in the following sections all sources of moisture penetration
should be identified and eliminated, and all existing decay
fungi destroyed in order to arrest the deterioration pro-
cxs. Many commercially available hade and wood preservatives are toxic, so it is extremely important to
foilow the manufacturer's recommendations for applica-
tion, and store all chemical materials away from children
and animals. After fungicidal and preservative treatment
the windows may be stabilized, retained, and restored
with every expectation for a long service life.

Deteriorated putty should be removed manually, taking
care not to damage the wood along the rabbet. If the
.&SS is to be moved, the glazing points which hold the glass in piace can be extracted and the panes numbered
and removed for cleaning and reuse in the same open-
ings. With the &ass panes out, the remaining putty can be
removed and the sash can be sanded, patched, and
primed with a preservative primer. Hardened putty in
the rabbets -Y be Softened by heating with a soldering
iron at the point of removal. Putty remaining on the
glass may be softened by soaking the panes in linseed o,il, and then removed with less risk of breaking the
glass. Before reinstalling the glass, a bead of glazing
compound or linseed oil putty should be laid around the rabbet to cushion and seal the glass. Glazing compound
should only be used on wood which has been brushed with linseed oil and primed with an oil based primer or
paint. The pane is then pressed into place and the glaz- irig points are pushed into the wood around the perim-
eter of the pane (see figure 4d). The final glazing com- pound or putty is applied and beveled to complete the
strai. The sash can be refinished as desired on the inside
and painted on the outside as soon as a "skin" has formed
on the putty, usualIy in 2 or 3 days. Exterior paint shouId
cover the beveled glazing compound or putty and lap
over onto the glass slightly to complete a weathertight .
seal. After the proper curing times have elapsed for paint a.nd putty, the sash will be ready for reinstallation.
While the sash are out of the frame, the condition of the wood in the jamb and si11 can be evaluated. Repair a.nd refinishing of the frame may proceed concurrently
with repairs to the sash, taking advantage of the curing times for the paints and putty used on the sash. One of the most common work items is the replacement of the
sash cords with new rope cords or with chains (see figure
4e). The weight pocket is frequently accessible through a door on the face of the frame near the sill, but if no door
e:xists, the trim on the interior face may be removed for
access. Sash weights may be increased for easier window
operation by elderly or handicapped persons. Additional repairs to tile frame and sash may include consolidation
or replacement of deteriorated wood. Techniques for these repairs are discussed in the following sections.
necessary to restore a window with minor deterioration to
"like new" condition (see figure 4f). The techniques can be
applied by an unskilled person with minimal training and
experience. To demonstrate the practicality of this ap-
proach, and photograph it, a Technical Preservation Ser-
vices staff member repaired a wooden doubie-hung, two
over two window which had been in service over ninety
years. The wood was structurally sound but the window
had one broken pane, many layers of paint, broken sash
cords and inadequate, worn-out weatherstripping. The
staff member found that the frame could be stripped of
paint and the sash removed quite easily. Paint, putty and
@ass removal required about one hour for each sash, and
t.he reglazing of both sash was accomplished in about one
hour. Weatherstripping of the sash and frame, repiace-
ment of the sash cords and reinstallation of the sash, part-
iing bead, and rtop required an hour and a half. These times refer only to individual operations; the entire proc-
ess took several days due to the drying and curinj
for putty, primer, and paint, however, work on ot
dow units could have been in progress during the!
times.

missing sections or decayed ends of members. Profiles can be duplicated using hand molds, which are created by
pressing a bail of patching compound over a sourtd sec-
tion of the profile which has been rubbed with butcher's
wax. This can be a very efficient technique where there
are many typicd repairs to be done. Technical P~:eserva-
tion Services has published Epoxies for Wood Repairs
in Historic Buildings (see Additional Reading section at
end), which discusses the theory and techniques of epoxy repairs. The process has been widely used and proven in
marine appiications: and proprietary products are avail-
able at hardware and marine supply stores, Although
epoxy materials may be compara tidy expensive, they hold the promise of being among the most durable and long lasting materials available for woad repair. Any of the three techniques discussed can stabilize and
restore the appearance of the window unit. There are
times, however, when the degree of deterioration is so ad-
vanced that stabilization is impractical, and the only way
to retain some of the original fabric is to replace damaged
parts.
Repair Class 111: Splices and Parts Replacement
When parts of the frame or sash are so badly deteriorated that they cannot be stabilized there are methods which
permit the retention of some of the existing or original
fabric. These methods involve replacing the deteriorated
parts with new matching pieces, or splicing new wood in-
to existing members. The techniques require more skill
and are more expensive than any of the previously dis-
cussed alternatives. It is necessary to remove the sash
and/or the affected parts of the frame and have a
carpenter or woodworking mill reproduce the damaged or
missing parts. Most millwork firms can duplicate parts,
such as muntins, bottom rails, or sills. which can then be incorporated into the existing window, but it ma.y be necessary to shop around because there are several factors
controlling the practicality of this approach. Some wood- working mills do not like to repair old sash because nails or other foreign objects in the sash can damage expensive
knives (which cost far more than their profits ON small
repair jobs); others do not have cutting knives to
duplicate muntin profiles. Some firms prefer to concen- trate on larger jobs with more profit potential, and some
little searching should locate a firm which will do
the job, and at a reasonable price. If such a firm does not
exist locally, there are firms which undertake this kind of
repair and ship nationwide. It is possible, however, for
the advanced do-it-yourselfer or craftsman with a table
saw to duplicate moulding profiles using techniques
dixussed by Gordie Whittington in "Simplified Methods
for Reproducing Wood Mouldings," Bulletin of the
Association for Preservation Technology, Vol. 111, No. 4,

frames which may be in very deteriorated condition,
possibly requiring removal; therefore, caution is in
order. The actual construction of wooden window frames
and sash is not complicated. Pegged mortise and tenon
units can be disassembled easily, if the units are out of the
building. The installation or connection of some frames to
the surrounding structure, especially masonry walls, can complicate the work immeasurably, and may even require
6
dismantling of the wail. It may w useru~, tnererore,
take the foilowing approach to frame repair: 1) cond
regular maintenance of sound frames to achieve the
longest life possibie, 2) make necessary repairs in pia
wherever possible, using stabilization and splicing tec
niques, and 3) if removal is necessary, thoroughly in
vestigate the structural detailing and seek appropriati
fessional consultation.
Another aitemative may be considered if parts rep
ment is required, and that is sash replacement. If ext'
replacement of parts is necessary and the job becomi
prohibitively expensive it may be more practical to I
chase new sash which can be installed into the existi
frames. Such sash are available as exact custom repr
tions, reasonable facsimiles (custom windows with si
profiles), and contemporary wooden sash which are
simifar in appearance. There are companies which st
manufacture high quality wooden sash which would
duplicate most historic sash. A few calls to local bui
ing suppliers may provide a source of appropriate re
ment sash, but if not, check with Iocal historical
associations, the state historic preservation office,
or preservation related magazines and supply cataio
infonna tion. If a rehabilitation project has a large number of M dows such as a commercial building or an industrial plex, there may be Iess of a problem amving at a sc

the thermal performance of existing windows. The use of
exterior storm windows should be investigated whenever
feasible because they are thermally efficient, cost-effective,
reversible, and allow the retention of original windows
(see "Preservation Briefs: 3"). Storm window frames may
be made of wood, aluminum, vinyl, or plastic; however,
the use of unfinished aluminum storms should be avoided. The visual impact of stoms may be minimized
by selecting colors which match existing trim color.
Arched top storms are available for windows with special
shapes. Although interior storm windows appear to offer
an attractive option for achieving double glazing with
minimal visual impact, the potential for damaging con-
densation problems must be addressed. Moisture which becomes trapped between the layers of glazing can con- dense on the colder, outer prime window, potentially .
leading to deterioration. The correct approach to using in-

allowing some ventilation around the prime window. In

Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mor-
tar from the joints of a masonry wall and replacing it
with new mortar. Properly done, repointing restores the
visual and physical integrity of the masonry. Improperly
done, repointing not only detracts from the appearance
of the building, but may, in fact, cause physical damage
to the- masonry units themselves.
The purpose of this brief is to provide general
guidance on appropriate materials and methods for re-
pointing historic brick buildings and is intended to
beneet building owners, architects, and contractors
alike. Because of its general nature, this publication
should not be considered a specification for repointing.
Rather, it should serve as a guide to prepare such
specifications; to develop sensitivity to the particular
needs of historic masonry; and to assist historic building owners in working cooperatively with contractors and

I I,denti€ying the Problem
The decision to repoint is most often related to some ob-
vjous sign of deteriomion (figure 1) such as
disintegrating mortar, crado in mortar joints, loose
bricks, damp walls, or damaged plasterwork. It is,
however, erroneous to assume that repointing alone will solve all these problems. Therefore, the true cause of the
deterioration should be determined before beginning any
repointing work. Leaking roofs or gutters, differential
settlement of the building, capillary action causing rising
damp, or extreme weather exposure should all be
recognized as sources of deterioration and should be I dealt with immediately. Without such action, mortar
u Budgeting and Scheduling
In scheduling, seasonal aspects need to be ca
first. Generally speaking, repointing should on
undertaken when the wall temperatures are bet
and 95" (F) to prevent freezing or excessive ev:
of the water in the mortar. During hot weathei
ing should ideally be done on the shady side 0:
building in order to slow the drymg process of
tar.
The relationship of repointing to other propc
on the building must also be recognized. For e>
paint removal or cleaning are antiapated and i
tar joints are basically in sound condition and

However, if the mortar has badly eroded, thus

should be accomplished before cleaning. Relatc
such as structural or roof repairs should be sd

have been a waste of time and money.

but preferable to repoint onfy those areas that require work rather than an entire wall, as is often specified.

were the Same style. Some late-lgth- and ZOthzentury
buildings, for example, have horizontal joints that WCT tooled while the vertical joints were finished flush and
stain& to match the bricks, thus creating the illusion c horizontal bands. It is significant to note that pointing
styles often differed from one facade to another. Front
walls often received greater attention to mortar detaih
than side and rear walls.
Bricks should also be examined so that any replace-
ment will match the historic brick. Within a wall there
may be a surprising range of colors, textures, and size!
particularly with hand-made brick. Replacement shod1 match the fuil range of the historic brick rather than a
single brick. Although many bricks can be matched frc
existing stock, they must often be custom-ordered, a
lengthy process that can seriously affect the project
budget and scheduIe. Here, there should be a note oc
caution! The use of recycled brick from demolished
buildings for replacement brick often results in an ex-
cellent color and texture match: however, it is importa
to remember that historic brick was manufactured in varying grades, ranging from high-fired exterior bridc I low-fired interior "bat" or "clinker" brick. This low-fir(
brick was never intended to be exposed to the weather,
and, when used for replacement brick on an exterior
wall. will deteriorate at a rapid rate, often needing
replacement within a year or two. Great care, therefore
should be taken in choosing the proper type of recydec
brick.
Properties of Mortar
In general, mortars for repointing should be softer
(measured in compressive strength) than the masonry
units and no harder than the historic mortar. This is
necessary to prevent damage to the masonry units. It is
a common error to assume that hardness or high
strength is a measure of durability. Stresses within a Wi
caused by expansion, contraction, moisture migration,
or settlement must be accommodated in some manner:
a masonry wall. these stresses should be reiieved by &t mortar rather than by the bricks. A mortar that is
stronger or harder than the bricks will not "give," thus
causing the stresses to be relieved through the brick-
resulting in cracking and spalling (figure 3). Stresses GU also break the bond between the mortar and the brick,
permitting water to penetrate the resulting hairline
cracks.
Constituents of Mortar
Sand: Sand is the largest constituent of mortar and the
material that gives mortar its characteristic color and
texture. When viewed under a magnifying glass or Iow- power binocular microscope, particles of. sand generally
have either rounded edges, such as found in beach or
river sand, or sharp, angular edges, found in crushed 01
manufactured sand. FOP repointing mortar, rounded or
natural sand is preferred for two reasons. First, it is usually similar to the sand in the historic mortar, thus
providing a better visual match. Second, it has better "working" qualities or plasticity and can thus be forced
into the joint more easily, forming a good contact with
the historic mortar and the surface of the bricks.
Although manufactured sand is frequently the only typt
readily available, it is worth the search to locate a suffi-
Visual Examination
All repointing work on historic masonry buildings
should be preceded by an anabsis,of the mortar and by an examination of the bricks and the techniques used in
the original construction of the wall. For most projects,
a simple visual analysis of the historic mortar is suffi-
dent to allow an appropriate match for the new mortar.
The exact physical and chemical properties of the historic mortar are not of major significance as long as
the new mortar:
e matches the historic mortar in color, texture, and
detailing;
is softer (measured in compressive strength) than the
brick;
is as soft. or softer (measured in compressive strength)
than the historic mortar.
A simple method of analyzing the historic mortar to
aid in developing an appropriate repointing mortar for
many restoration jobs and most rehabilitation work
follows':
I) Remove three or four unweathered samples of the
mortar to be matched from several locations on the
building (set the largest sample aside-this will be
used later for comparison with the repointing
mortar). It is important to recognize that many
historic buildings have been repointed a number of
times and that on any given wall surface there may
be a variety of mortars. Therefore, it is important .to
remove as many samples as are representative to ob-
tain a "mean" mortar sample.
mallet until they are separated into their constituent
parts. There should be a good handful of the
material. 3) Carefully blow away the powdery material (the lime
or cement matrix which bound the mortar together).
4) With a low power (IO power) magnifying glass, ex-
amine the remaining sand and other materials such as oyster shells.
the varying sizes of the individual grains of sand or
shell.
2) Break the remaining samples apart with a wooden
5) Note and record the wide range of color as well as
Historic sand colors may range from white to grey to
yellow within a given mortar sample. Furthermore:. the varying sizes of the grains of sand or other materials such as shell play an important role in the texture of the
repointing mortar. Historic sand was not screened or
graded by size as it is today. Therefore, when specifying
sand for repointing mortar, consideration may need to be given to obtaining sand from several sources arid then combining them in order to approximate the range of
sand colors and grain sizes in the historic mortar sample.
The roie of the sand in the overall appearance of the
replacement mortar should not be underestimated!
Pointing styles and the methods of producing them
should be examined (figure 2). It is important to look at
both the horizontal and the vertical joints to determine
the order in which they were tooled and whether they

Lime or Portland Cement: The two commonly used binders for mortar are lime and portland cement. Of &e ' two, lime produces a mortar that meets neariy all the rr-
quirements for a good mortar for historic buildings,
while portland cement produces a mortar that does not
perform as well. High lime mortar is soft, porous, and
changes little in volume during temperature fluctations.
hi addition, lime mortar is slightly water soluble and
thus is able to re-seal any hairline cracks that may I develop during the life of the mortar. Portland cement, ' o:n the other hand, can be extremely hard, is resistant to
movement of water, shrinks upon setting, and undergoes
relatively large thermal movements. The use of a high lime mortar, therefore, is recommended for nearly all re-
pointing projects. Howeuer, white portland cement can be substituted for up to 20 percent of the he (ex. 7 part
cement to 4 parts lime). This will tcsudly improve work-
ability or plasticity without adversely affecting the desir-
able qualities of the lime mortar. Plasticity is important
to ensure a good bond between the new mortar, the his-
toric mortar, and the bridc.
Water: Water should be clean and relatively free of salts
or adds.
Historic Additives: In addition to the color of the sand,
the texture of the mortar is of critical importance in
duplicating historic mortar. While modem mortars are
fi,nely ground and present a uniform texture and color,
historic mortars were not as well ground. They may
contain lumps of oyster shell, partially burned lime,
animal hair, or particIes of clay. The visual character-
istics of these additives should be duplicated through the
use of similar materials in the repointing mortar.
Matching Color and Texture of Mortar
In matching the repointing mortar, the new mortar
s.hould match the unweathered interior portions of the historic mortar. The simplest way to check the match is
to make a small sample of the proposed mix and allow it
to cure; this sample is then broken open and the broken
surface is compared with the broken surface of the
Iiargest "saved' sample of historic mortar.
If it is not possible to obtain a proper coior match
t.hrough the use of natural materials because locally
a.vailable sands are not a close match to the original
sand, it may be necessary to use a modem mortar pig-
ment, and, in fact, some historic mortars did us
additives. In the late 19th century, some mortaw colored with pigments to match or contrast with
brick. Red. brown, and black pigments were cor used. Piients are available as separate ingredie
already mixed with mortar: however, the premb
tars normally are not suited for use on repointin
ects because of their high portland cement conte:
chemically pure mineral oxides, which are alkali
and sun-fast, should be used in order to prevent
bleaching and fading.
Material Specifications
Modem materials specified for use in repointing
should conform to specifications of the America:
for Testing Materials (ASW) or comparab1e fec
specifications.
Sand should conform to ASTM C-144 to assure
gradation and freedom from impurities. Sand ca
and texture should match the original as closely
ble to provide the proper color match without o
ditives. Samples of sand proposed for use shoulc
mitted for approval prior to beginning work.
Lime should conform to ASTM C-207, Type S,
Hydrated Lime for. Masonry Purposes. This limt
designed to assure high plasticity and water rete with a safe degree of strength. The use of quickl
which must be slaked and soaked, does not nect provide better results.

Water should be potabie-clean and free from a

Historic Additives will require writing new spec
for each project. If possible, suggested sources fc
materials should be included. For exampie, crus;

sizes from poultry supply dealers.

consultant alike. The following guidelines can assist in
writing specifications:
* Material proportions should be given in volumes, that
is, 4 parts of lime to 12 parts of sand, rather than 2
bags of lime to 6 cubic feet of sand. This will avoid
any confusion on the job site when substitution of
sources occur with differing packaging sizes.
e- Repointing mortar for most historic buildings should
ideauy be composed only of lime and sand. A propor-
tion of 1 part of lime to 2 parts of sand is a useful
starting point.
ASTM C-150, Type I1 (white non-staining) portland
cement may be added to the repointing mortar to in-
crease workability and to achieve whiteness in color:
however, no more than 20 percent of the total volume
of the lime and portland cement-combined-should
be portland cement. Any greater amount of portland
cement increases the hardness of the repointing mortar
to a potentially damaging degree.

Execution of the Work
The Test Panel: In choosing a contractor or mason,
perhaps the best way t0 award Ihe ‘Ontract and ‘or the
contractor or mason to demonstrate his or her work in a
repointing job is the test panei: a small demonstration
section of joint preparation and repointing actually done on the historic masonry. The test panel should be
carefully selected to include all types of masonry, joint
styles. and types of problems to be encountered om the
4
job. Usually a >foot by 6-foot area located in an in-
conspicuous yet readily accessible place is sufficient.
Joint Preparation: Old mortar should generally be
removed to a minimum depth of 2% times the width 0.
the joint to ensure an adequate bond and to prevent
mortar “popouts.” For most brick joints, this will requi
removal of the mortar to a depth of approximately %-
inch. Any loose or disintegrated mortar beyond this
minimum depth should be removed (figure 4). The use
of power took such as saws with carbide blades or im-
pact hammers for the removal of mortar almost always
results in damage to the bricks by breaking the edges
and by overcutting on the head, or vertical. joints
(figure 5). Damage to the bricks not only affects their
visual character but can also lead to accelerated weathe
damage. Where joints are uniform and fairly wide, it
may be possible to use a grinder to assist the removal I
mortar: however, final preparation of the joint should
done by hand.
Test panels are quite helpful, but they cannot ade-
quately assess the potential effect of using a grinder sin such panels are not prepared under actual working con
ditions. If there is any chance of damaging the masonr
hand-methods should be used exclusively. AIthough
slower, these methods are easier to control and less
likely to cause irreversible damage to the bricks. Mort2
should be removed cleanly from the bricks, leaving
square corners at the back of the cut. Before filling, tht
joints should be rinsed with ~ jd of water to remOve a,
loose particles and dust. At the time of filling, the join;
shou]d be damp but with no standing water present.
Mortar Preparation: Mortar should be mixed carefully
obtain uniformity of visual and physical characteristics
.
FiIIing the Joint: Where existing mortar has been removed to a depth of greater than 1 inch, these deeper areas should be filled first, compacting the new mortar in several layers. The back of the entire joint should be
filled successively by applying approximately 1/4 inch of mortar, packing it well into the back comers. This ap-
plication may extend for several feet. As soon as the mortar has reached thumb-print hardness, another 4; inch layer of mortar-approximately the same thick- ness-may be applied. Several layers will be needed to
fill the joint flush with the outer surface of the brick. It
is; important to allow each layer time to harden before
the next layer is applied: most of the mortar shrinkage
occurs during the hardening process and layering thus
minimizes overall shrinkage.
the brick and the oid mortar before beginning to fill the
joint, but free water or excessive dampness in the joint should be avoided. Too much water will delay the tool-
iing or cause excess shrinkage; too little water wiII be ab-
sorbed from the mortar before it is properly set. thus

be prepared to evaluate the effects of different cleaning methods. Only stiff natural bristle brushes should be

relating to research and construction. The consultant
must also realize that older buildings have special prob-
leins usually not encountered with modern building
materials or techniques of construction. Therefore, extra
research will be required, and nonstandard materials and procedures will need to be used in evaluating the work
of potential contractors to ensure that they are qualified
to work on projects of the type anticipated. The consul-
tant must also be prepared to spend more time than is
customary in modem construction to inspect the work.
For the Contractor/Craftsman: The contractor or crafts-
man must keep in mind that a repointing project for a
'listoric building will be slower and more expensive per
init cost than work on a modern building. The contrac-
tor must understand the reasons for these special re-
qnirements, and must convey them to the workers at all levels: Understanding the nature of the project and the potential problems will not only allow the contractor to
submit a more accurate bid, but will also provide for the
use of nonstandard methods in performing work.
Conclusion
Fi.nt and foremost, a good repointing job is meant to last, often in the range of 50-100 years. Shortcuts and poor craftsmanship not only result in a job that looks
bad, but also in one that will require future repointing
more frequently than if the job had been done correctly
in the first place. The mortar joint in a historic brick
building has often been called the wall's "first line of defense." Good repointing practices guarantee the long life of the mortar joint, the wall, and the historic struc-
ture. However, while careful preservation, restoration, and maintenance will guarantee the long life of the freshly repointed mortar joints, it is important to remember that these mortar joints will probably require repointing some time in the future. It is the nature of
mortar joints to deteriorate. Nevertheless, if the historic
mortar joints proved durable for many years, then
careful repointing should have an equally long life,
ultimately contributing to the preservation of the historic

Historic Preservation Officers and their staffs in planning, undertaking, and supervising Historic Preservation Fund grant-assisted projects for properties listed in the National
Register.
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
PROJECTS are also used by the National Park Service when advising other Federal
agencies under Executive Order 1 1593, and reviewing rehabilitation proposals submitted
with State and local government applications for the transfer of f ederally-owned surplu:
properties listed in the National Register.
The Standards for Rehabilitation, which comprise one section of THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS, are used t
the National Park Service and the State Historic Preservation Officers and their staffs
when determining if a rehabilitation for a "certified historic structure" qualifies as a
certified rehabilitation pursuant to the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, as amende1
It should be noted that although the rehabilitation standards are included in this
publication, the rehabilitation guidelines are not. This is 'because a separate, book-
length, publication of the National Park Service entitled "The Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Kehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings"
(revised 1983) addresses the subject in full.

removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive archi-
tectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products
of their own time. Alterations which have no historical basis and
which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes, which nay have taken place in the course of time, are

the new materfal should match the material being replaced in compositfon,
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or
replacemeat of missing archirectural features should be based on
accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historical,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs
or the availability of different architectural elements from other
buildings or structures.
