How to incorporate historic qualities, elements and features begins with understanding their significance today.
"Historic quality encompasses legacies of the past that are distinctly associated with physical elements of the landscape, whether natural or man made, that are of such historic significance that they educate the viewer and stir an appreciation of the past;
Historic elements reflect the actions of people and may include buildings, settlement patterns, and other examples of human activity;
Historic features can be inventoried, mapped, and interpreted. They possess integrity of location, design, setting, material, workmanship, feeling and association."
